Darkening Wood, 20”x24” acrylic

Wandering around alone in the woods can be magical. It sounds a bit like a metaphor at the moment.

My Kind of Weirdo

March 11, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in poem
7B Studio, late night

Time relentlessly washing over, eroding and churning. I find myself surprisingly old, solitary and drifting into eccentricity. Each morning I wonder, “what kind of weirdo are you today?” Time reveals my charming weirdo ways.

Atmospherics and lighting are always intriguingly me. When nature stops me in my tracks, I take note.

Roaring Light (final)

Roaring Light 24”x30” acrylic

I love dramatic weather. Capturing a sense of that power and feel is an exciting challenge. This one will be at my August solo show at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.

47th Day, 16”x12” acrylic

Monday was my 47th consecutive day working in the studio. Truly hitting the wall and burning out. An amazing winter squall came raging through, I was back on board.

Solitary Nature, 16”x12” acrylic

I often wish I lived on an island. In a way I suppose I do.

Rise Above

Rise Above, 16”x12” acrylic

I have a number of projects ongoing today, everyday. This one has a great feel.

On a related note, I always aim to rise above. It seems awful easy to be drug down into the mud.
