A "Journal of Paintings" by Jon Conkey, Themeworks was a "one-year-long" record of my progress in the art of "oil painting", and an attempt to paint 365 paintings in one year. Changing the monthly theme allowed me to focus on subjects I may not have otherwise painted. As an artist, I was looking for discovery and breakthroughs in my works through this daily practice.

# 115 Backroom Worker
August's theme will be the "genre paintings" that didn't happen last month. There may be an occasional portrait or anatomical detail (hands, etc.). The practice of painting people has really eluded me throughout my artistic experience; though drawing them was always been a forte' of mine. JLC
