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.

# 198 Cornfield
I have been trying to figure out a way to capture foliage more quickly and still make them seem believeable. Cornfields have a "presence" when you are near them, these stocks were over 8' high, very dense, and rustled in the air as though they were talking. Oil on Linen 7.50" x 13.50".
