Emerging

November 16, 2018November 17, 2018 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

Another new painting in the studio. This one is bound for Elliott Fouts Gallery, that hour glass is draining quickly! I need to deliver these paintings in early January.

Again I find myself focusing on filtered sun and a dramatic sky with this painting. I have some exciting plans that are just a bit of a departure from my typical work… stay tuned!

I also have some paintings available at a super cool gallery in Missoula. Check out the link!

Water in a Frame

November 15, 2018 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

A cool little painting from April. I was experimenting with framing options, this one worked well. Since then I have switched things up significantly. I am now painting on thicker wood panels and using a more minimal floating frame. Everything is always changing, hopefully evolving… it is good to pause and reflect at times.

Spirits

A dream like painting inspired by Lake Pend Oreille, you know the usual!

I am now working on 16″x20″ & 18″x24″ boards. Time to make larger works for upcoming shows!

I just completed this nocturnal painting. I have a growing collection of moon related art, most will be headed to the Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento in January!

Morning Light

This painting is shipping to England today!

I am spending a lot of time varnishing, framing and packing art. So much work goes into each painting, I need an unpaid assistant!

Dragon Fire (SOLD)

Dragon Fire 14”x11” acrylic paint on wood panel

I framed and shipped this painting to a new home. These days I have abandoned the notion of hanging onto art no matter how much I like it.

The people who purchased this painting loved it so much that they first purchased it as a print from http://www.minted.com and then decided they had to own the original! It is a great feeling sending work somewhere it will be cherished.

Earthly Days

Another cloud painting inspired by the low winter sun of the north! Pictured in progress on my studio table.

Over Darkness

November 7, 2018November 7, 2018 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

As winter’s dark slips into our daily lives I am feeling inspired by the changing atmosphere. The sun staying low creating dramatic light and shadow. I am also a fool for giant clouds crawling across the land. It seems I like my landscapes moody.

Day Dream

This is a very airy and bright painting. The photo was taken on my studio table with some of the tools of the trade.

Inspired by low clouds that seem to form and disappear so quickly. The blinding sun tempered by mist. This is another meditative piece.

Flowing

This painting is a glow with light. It has a really great feel that doesn’t entirely come across with the photographs I have taken. It will be headed to the Elliott Fouts Gallery for my next solo show. February 2nd-28th, 2019!
