Rainbow #3

September 22, 2017 by Brian Sostrom

This is a painting I did a bit over a year ago. I painted 5 trout images and a less then flattering but reasonably accurate self portrait. I was painting small 10″x10″ paintings as I was between studios. I discovered that they made a really cool single art piece when hung together. Now that I am in a great new studio space I have been digging through works for some upcoming shows and rediscovered these. People keep trying to buy the individual fish paintings, curiously no one wants the self portrait! For whatever reason I refuse to break up the band and am going to hang them all together in my new studio…

I recently finished this 16″x16″ painting. Here it is on one of my work tables that is quickly becoming covered with paint as well!

“The Fade”

I painted this moody little waterscape and a nice guy (chap?) from Oxford purchased it. This particular painting is 10″x8″.

This is a 14″x11″ acrylic painting I recently completed. I am playing around with some relatively small paintings while I prepare a large board for a commission.

Studio Wall

Fun to hang some paintings up temporarily on the studio wall. Some of these were part of a commission and have now moved out.

I installed some rails to hang paintings on which will help keep the studio organized and more easily allow me to observe my recent works.

Idaho water

My sister and brother in law made the treck to North Idaho to visit over the 4th of July weekend. We had a lot of fun on the water enjoying the rewards of summer.
