Transcending

January 6, 2021 by Brian Sostrom, posted in art, environment, poem
Transcending – 16”x20”, acrylic

Water can be a source of peace and tranquillity. I find when painting images like this I get lost in the work and it soothes my mind.

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.

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.

Water to Shore

Water to Shore, 14”x11” acrylic

A nice bit of drama with this piece. I am starting a large commission so I have been doing some related studies.

Summer Light (final)

November 10, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in environment, home decor, painting
Summer Light, 16”x12” acrylic

From high resolution scan, I am particularly fond of this one. I was planning on doing some really large paintings in this theme. I have derailed myself but it’s still on my mind.
