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 have been back many times to look at your work. Your portraits have a quality that reminds me of the Russian painter Valentin Serov. Fantastic! Keep up the good work.
Jon-
your paintings of people are timeless.
Keep up the great work!
Leslie I will check out Valentin's work. I am a dedicated student of the russian school, you are the first to notice the influence. JLC
Hi Peter, I always appreciate your feedback, I am so impressed with your blog's success and your consistent sales on Ebay; sooner or later, I have got to figure out how to sell my work. JLC
