Looking Back

July 25, 2019 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized
Gentle Rhythm, 20”x20” acrylic

This is s waterscape from a couple years back. I am always thinking about painting, where is it taking me? Part of that is looking back at past works and seeing changes.

Water Works

June 4, 2019 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized

I am fickle about the tools and brushes I use. They generally have to get heavily broken in before I like them much. This new brush though has made It into constant rotation and I recommend it. It is a No. 12 Qualita FLAT By Creative Mark.

Awake (for a little while)

May 13, 2019 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized
Awake, 16”x20” acrylic

Water and light have always drawn me in. The endless shifting of shapes and colors has a meditative quality. Slowly you drift.

Great expanses

April 22, 2019 by Brian Sostrom, posted in Uncategorized
Expanse 24”x24” acrylic

I have always loved big open spaces. Something that is getting harder to find in our modern world.

One of many magical things about water is the open distance. People often suggest I add a boat or plane to my paintings… no.
