It is strange to paint things you know must be the wrong color, only to find out, it is somehow right. Oil 6.00" x 7.00" email jon@jonconkey.com to purchase.
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.

Jon, these colors are weird. But they do work, you are right. I like the contrast of directions between the clouds and the tree shadows. The long shadows give a feeling of loneliness.
Hi Karl, "Loneliness" that is interesting. These junipers do grow a certain distance from each other to survive up here, due to the sparce water conditions. Perhaps they are more "independant" than lonely, (maybe they just don't want their shadows to touch one another).
Love seeing all thse landscapes Jon! I liek the diagonals in this composition. -Paul H
Paul, Thanks for the good words!
