Lightning & Snow: the peanut butter & chocolate of nature. I took this painting outside for the lovely natural light.

Rare post featuring me with my painting.

Beneath

I have some 12” in the studio so I took myself way off course and played around with some water imagery. It’s good to break things up from time to time.

Finalizing some paintings for Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. The frames are ordered but they all need to be signed and varnished this weekend.

Higher Light (Ugallery)

January 9, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in art

This painting is now available at the Ugallery website. It has been a while since I had time to add work to the site.

For now the painting is gracing my bedroom wall. Ugallery sends you a really protective shipping box once it sells. The artist simply prints out a shipping label and off it goes!

Starting a series of paintings focusing on the forest. I live in snow country so there will be some winter imagery, don’t be alarmed.

Another painting from my top nine of 2019, according to Instagram! This painting was inspired by a winter trek to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. The beautiful area is very far North Idaho.

The painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming!

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.
