Messages (for Albert)

Messages – 30”x24”, acrylic

The week has suddenly taken a bad turn. For the first time in a long while I won’t be working in the studio. This older image painting seems appropriate.

My Waves

December 22, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in business, home decor, painting
14”x11” – acrylic, oil and cold wax

Three small paintings I did in preparation for the large commission I recently finished. These were a bit of an experiment with materials. For the final commission I stuck with acrylics but there are interesting roads to explore here.

Darkening Light

December 21, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in art, home decor, painting
Darkening Light – 14”x14”

An experimental older painting I recently dug up. I made a couple modifications and hung it in the studio.

The darkness of this painting seems appropriate for the winter solstice. Looking forward to more daylight!

Away

November 27, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in art, home decor, painting
Away, 9”x12” acrylic

An older painting I recently dug up. I put a couple more hours into it and like the result. I rarely go back to older work unless I need a surface to paint on.

Composition

November 24, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in business, home decor, painting
Wave Study, 14”x11” acrylic

One last study before starting a 36”x24” commission. This one is a loose take on the composition, values and colors. The large painting will be much more detailed but I love the loose vibe and motion of this small take.
