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.

Very nice. I really like this. The figures read well. ~Heidi
Good one! I always like your paintings with people in them.
Heidi,
Thanks much! How did you know those folks could read well...they don't even have their books with them. hahaha
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for stopping by. I need to get over it and just start putting folks in my work more often. I cannot tell you why I don't do it more...it is just something in my head. I either paint a person alone, or a landscape alone, but rarely both. I think too much about figures and their placement...things must change!
