Elements

I did a bit more work on this painting, it proved to be the right decision.

Distance

January 26, 2019 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

I have always loved big empty spaces. No buildings no roads. There are not enough of these places today.

Besides the glorious desolation it is the atmosphere. The feeling of distance and light. I try to capture that feeling in my work, try is all I can do.

Darkness of winter

Winter Mist 16”x12” acrylic on wood panel

I realized I am neglecting the beauty of the season. Frequently we have grey winter skies in North Idaho. The bright snow and steely water. It has an undeniable beauty even on the darkest days.

New Start

Mystic Distance 12”x16” acrylic on wood panel

I have shipped all of my recent work to Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento. Now I am making a new start! I have some commissions I need to work on, those start next week. I will take the remainder of this week just to paint.

Time erodes everything, painting offers occasional moments of ascent.

Remember Light

This time of year light does seem like something either remembered or glimpsed shining on a distant mountain. Light is the star of the show in this painting.

I am going to be putting coats of varnish on this piece today, then time to frame!

Emerging

Another new painting in the studio. This one is bound for Elliott Fouts Gallery, that hour glass is draining quickly! I need to deliver these paintings in early January.

Again I find myself focusing on filtered sun and a dramatic sky with this painting. I have some exciting plans that are just a bit of a departure from my typical work… stay tuned!

I also have some paintings available at a super cool gallery in Missoula. Check out the link!

Morning Light

This painting is shipping to England today!

I am spending a lot of time varnishing, framing and packing art. So much work goes into each painting, I need an unpaid assistant!

Great Silence

This is another painting inspired by mist and morning light.

I have been painting a lot of work this size lately. It has enough surface area to have a bit of freedom. I am going to start treating this as my minimum size. I have a lot of prepped 16″x20″, 18″x24″ and 20″x24″ panels I am excited to dive into next.
