Dying, a poem of sorts

March 9, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in poem

It’s a strange kind of prophecy, crying in the parking lot. Not sure you were a genius knowing it all ends in pain. You held my wreck-less station. I’m still standing in the shadows, waiting in the rain.

Balance

March 4, 2020 by Brian Sostrom, posted in art
Balance, 12”x16” acrylic

I am working on a series of sky-scapes. The balance of subtle and bold. This one has a bit of newly found magic.

Balance is a difficult concept for me. I have never found a great work life balance. I get a little obsessed.

Drifters

Drifters, 16”x12 acrylic

I sold this painting last weekend while it was a WIP through my Instagram stories. It always picks me up, selling work unexpectedly. I immediately waste the money on art supplies, circle of life.

Beneath

Beneath, 12”x12 acrylic

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.

Fire Sky

Fire Sky, 18”x18” acrylic

I love a dramatic sky. This painting is one of my favorite recent works. It will probably be heading to my Solo Show at Abend Gallery in August. I have so much to do for two shows, good to have some powerful pieces in my back pocket.

Close of Day, 20”x16 acrylic

This painting just sold through Elliott Fouts Gallery. This beautiful Sacramento gallery has been good to me! I have been sending them artwork for many years and they hosted a great solo show just a year ago.
