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.

Hi Jon,
Your ability to capture the light of the moon is wonderful. I love the colors and how the painting seems so real - almost as if I were right there looking up at the moon. And beyond the dark woods under the starry sky, I am listening to the mysterious night sounds.
June, You write wonderfully, thank you for your feedback! I plan to do more night scenes; the clear crisp nights are "moon season" around here. JLC
Nice painting, I didn't think of painting darkness, good change of pace, bet it was a liitle different to paint too.
Now I know you didn't leave me off your blog roll on purpose so here is my link. Did I get you?
