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.
This is a beautiful study! Well done. I really am enjoying this blog of yours more each day. You may inspire me to try figures from life when I tire of painting still lifes. Keep up the good work.
Knowing fine painters are actually watching my blog certainly makes me paint at a higher level! The response to these portraits has been a very nice surprise. They have been enlightening to paint, I am learning so much about color, planes and edges. I hope it will carry over into all my other work. JLC
