An attempt at painting a pewter teapot and a gold-rimmed tea cup. Oil on linen 11' x 14". 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.

Great work, Jon...so much character
Thanks David! JLC
I like the color temperature in this one - and the checkered cloth under the curved pot/cup. Nice!
Belinda, Those are some keen observations; now that you mentioned it, I will become more aware in future about it; Thanks! JLC
What a super painting..tonal perfection!...I love the gold rim on the cup and the subtle values on the teapot.
Thanks Vivienne! JLC
This is lovely -- your handling of the tea pot reflections is superb! Love the painterly style too. Definitely one of my favorites.
Thanks David, I really appreciate your feedback. It really helps me to know which direction to go with my work. JLC
