John Singer Sargent had a great painting "style", this one reminds me of his style. Maybe it is because I look at so much of his work, it seems that all the artists I like paint very similar. 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.

very nice work. Thank you for your expression. Amy
Hi Amy, I am delighted you like the piece. Your photo would make a nice portrait. JLC
Hi John, I like your work, will link you on my blog. I was taught(many years ago) by a close friend of JSS, I love his work too and this piece is beautiful in its simplicity.
That is very fortunate! Most of what I know of Sargent and his technique, came from the notes left by his students. Stanley Olson's "His Portrait" is a great book on his life. JLC
