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.

# 150 Punch Bowl Falls, Oregon
This piece I gave to my friend Neil Blender, an excellent skateboarder, and fine graphic artist. When we were in our teens we drew things constantly; in between skateboarding everywhere and everything. I am pleased to say He is once again producing art in the form of "woodblock prints". This piece is an oil 8.3/8" x 10.25" on primed cardstock. JLC

Hi Ming, People still can't believe it when I show-up to skate at our skatepark here in Taos; they keep looking for my kids! But of course, skateboarding is a natural choice for one who appreciates fine skill, dedication and individual expression; like painting or guitar, they keep my mind quick and heart young. JLC
