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.

How does one classify their work? I think it is best to let others try and figure that out; as a painter, I give up trying. Recently, I have been working my paint more thickly and using stand oil for flow, the change in my work is obvious by a quick look back into my archives. I may just now be figuring out my own style; Finally! JLC

Jon,
A friend showed me your blog, and I come back every other day to check out what your'e doing next. I'm trying to become a better painter, and I can see how you are really taking chances, and changing and trying new methods. I love your work...I'll keep looking and learning.

Thanks Mick,
Your right, by taking some liberties with my brushes, I have been discovering much about myself in the process. JLC
