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. Themeworks is finished, my new blog is http://studioasturias.blogspot.com, accessed from my profile page.

# 251 Edge of Night

January's theme is late evening and sky studies. After a two week break from painting I feel rusty. I must do 115 paintings in less than 80 days to acheive 365 paintings in one year, (still quite possible). Oil 4.00" x 10.00" Email jon@jonconkey.com for purchase info.

That "pink" is from permanent rose "quinacindrone violet". I could not mix that color with alizirin crim or cad red lt. Very cool to find out about your relation to Charles Rollo Peters...he is one of my all-time favorite painters of the night.; 4:27 PM
