Promo photograph for Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I have solo show at this great gallery in August of 2020! This is going to be a huge exhibit and I am digging in to make my very best work.
About the artist:
My name is Brian Sostrom. I am a full-time painter, and a lifetime painter, living in North Idaho. I paint what I consider to be psychological landscapes. Inspired by nature but never striving to do what the camera can.
Fading Distance (SOLD)
20”x50” acrylic
Client photo of this piece. They put a nice floater frame on the painting.
This is the third painting in this little series. The painting is my favorite of the group because I am a fan of interesting mark making and simplicity. Creating something seemingly minimal and effortless is often incredibly difficult. This is where all of my years of painting work in my favor.
A simple little study in preparation for grander pieces.
Throwback to some 21”x8” wave paintings I sold through the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria Oregon this summer.
I am the featured artist on the “Art Food Home” site today! Click on the link to check it out.

In honor of my sister’s birthday. Happy Birthday Julie!
Two recent water squares have shipped to an art buyer in Boise, Idaho. Hard to capture the magic of these in a photograph, the colors always seem to shift.
Have a great Sunday!
Storms keep rolling across Lake Pend Oreille. Sometimes winter feels cozy other times isolating. The beauty is undeniable.
I have a few of these tiny boards lying around. With our recent and impending snows I was inspired to play with some winter light. This is the first painting in the group. More to come…
