Snow Day

by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

What was better as a child than a snow day? Now it doesn’t apply to me but the memories still warm my jaded heart. I just came back from my morning hike, impressive amount of snow coming down. The National Forest trail seems a little treacherous and the weather slightly dangerous. It felt great getting exercise and just a little thrilling. I take the thrills where I can find them these days.

Now I am back in the studio painting. I will be posting new work here soon.

Winter Path (December)

We woke up to snow this morning, to mark the start of December. I thought I would mark the occasion with a small winter painting from 2022. This one was sold to a collector. I am also attaching a video from my morning hike, such a change overnight!

Winter Dream

Winter Dream – 16”x20”, acrylic

A new winter scene on the studio easel. I love nature, it is a constant source of inspiration and joy. I tend to use nature as a jumping off point. My paintings tend to be fantastical dreamscapes, this is a good example. The paint is also the subject, I obsess over paint blending and mark making.
