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.

# 199 Half Moon Over Mora
The moon is very special to me, I'm always stuck trying to figure out how to capture what I see, everything changes so quickly; clouds blow by, and the moon sinks, all with very little patience. Oil 10.00" x 15.00", to purchase email jon@jonconkey.com . JLC

Hi Jon.
This one is magical.
Hi David, Night scenes are "hit and miss" with me it seems. My attempts to capture what nature offers at night around here, have me standing for hours outside staring up at the sky trying to see color in darkness: Thank God I live in a place where folks cannot witness my strange nocturnal behavior trying to paint a full moon.
pretty good mood on this one.
Thanks William, I thought I would try the palette knife as a brush for a change.
