Pastel enhances the texture, depth and richness of each landscape's color.
Light is equally important in Stockwell's work and he travels extensively to capture its changing effects as seasons the change. Light and color are the core of Stockwell's paintings. Inspired by nature, he captures a brief moment in the ever-changing surface of the landscape through powerful imagery of sun, sky and land. Stockwell sees nature with a clearer eye than most people - painting an illusion of reality suffused with shadow and sunlight, he expresses an imminent sense of change. Although now living in both NYC and on Cape Cod, Stockwell annually travels from coast to coast in the U.S. and to Europe, with a particular affinity for Provence in the south of France.
