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.

Nina, Thanks much, I really tried to capture a lot on this one, it is painted thinly, but I became entranced with trying to get everything in the picture, as opposed to painting it quicky and loose
