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.

# 202 Morning Farm
Here is a scene with the morning dew lurking in the shadows, before the sun rises on a new day. Oil 5.50" x 8.00" email jon@jonconkey.com to purchase.
Beautiful! Is that a river or lake in front? That brigh green really contrasts with the dark bushes... it makes me want to go there... oohhh its just lovely!
Thanks Rhonda! I'm looking forward to seeing where this month takes me; "the atmospheric theme". I was originally attracted to the hazy blue shadowed field, in front of those distant blue trees.
Hi Angela, I did not intend for that to be water. Rather, it is the "white-rock roadpack" reflecting the colors of the shadows and foliage; or that was my attempt anyway. However, I like the river idea a lot, it is just a matter of interpretation.
