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.
Karin Jurick has such a nice use of color and rich shadow in many of her pieces, this piece was inspired by her work. She remains one of my favorite living painters. JLC
Hi Ming, Your right, this blog was designed by me to experiment, find my style, and learn to use oils. On some, I used knives, others sables, some my fingers, bristles, etc. I try to break up my approach, I originally learned to draw with paint (like Michelangelo) but that was too tight for me. JLC
