Another effort to paint unique light on the extreme edge of the subjects, painting loose is actually nothing more than not finishing the work to a higher level of refinement. JLC
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.

I really like the light in this on. I write this as I read your blog. Yes I agree paintings can be left even at the block in stage and be beautiful like a Milton Avery, more finished, like a Fairfield Porter, etc.
Hi Cheryl, Another name that comes to mind is Ed Mell; they are all great masters of simplicity. Thanks for your feedback, I almost didn't post this piece, now I am glad I did. JLC
