Moonlight is so profound! Oil 5.50" x 7.7/8". JLC SOLD
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.

Awesome! I always love the effect of sunlight or moonlight beaming through the clouds, though I've never been brave enough to really try to paint it :-)
I just atarted another blog, http://dailypainters.blogspot.com, to highlight the work of daily painting artists. Every day I'll have lots of new work from some talented artists - let me know if you'd like to be on the site!
Hi Micah, I am always challenged by the night sky, she shields her colors well. My problem is mixing the colors in light, but seeing the colors in darkness. I often just go stand outside and stare up, trying to find some secret to the glory of the night. JLC
Nice effect Jon. One of these days...err nights I am going to try a painting. Very striking rendering.
oooh..very nice:)so easy to get a piece like this wrong..but you nailed it!
Thanks Ming, I will be doing more night scenes soon; your right, it is easy to blow it with them, most of my night scenes end up in the trash. I am glad you left a comment, it gives me more inspiration to try it again. JLC
