Original Impressionistic Painting by JC Strong
A new "alla prima" impressionistic painting. I love doing landscapes and trees but today I wanted to switch gears. The rain is coming and the light is subdued so I thought of a more neutral palette.

Original Ink Paintings Landscape and Floral
The combination of sumi ink on watercolor paper is an exciting medium. The "happy accidents" and many shades of black and grey that are possible is wonderful. The ink picks up every nuance of an artist's brush strokes.

Updates, Links and Etsy News:

Today between 6:00 & 9:00 pm eastern time the Finding Fine Art Team is having a treasury blitz in order to give fine art a visual voice/boost on Etsy... So if you're looking for fine art just go to http://www.etsy.com/ and use the findingfineart tag in your regular search or curated treasury section. You'll find some incredible art in these treasuries and the support will be much appreciated.
