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.

Dear John Conkey
I just read your comment at Karl Zipser and felt a lot of wise and truthfulness in your strong statement touched me so I had to login into your blog to have a look at your work and find more about you. I liked the paintings straight way, skilled and clean so here is all my respect. I am hoping that you will like my paintings too as for me I didn’t decide to become an artist. I been painting since a child, I am 27 years old now and find really hard to make a living of it, still an apprentice but I my necessity to paint is superior to my other needs. I like your landscapes very much, I can see you been painting for a while and I really admire that in someone. I wish you much success and hope to see more from you, not only for your personality but your great work! All the best, hug

Nice clean strong image. A clear sky and atmoshere. Wonderfully composed.
Thanks for your recent encouragement. :)
Hi Gordon, Glad your back! I have still been trying to catch-up from "Easton Plein Air". That mural you were working on was top notch.
