Original Paintings

Each of my paintings is a one-of-a-kind, signed and matted original, created in acrylic on paper and rich in pattern and intricate detail. They were created over many years and reflect a long engagement with the natural world, rendered with detailed patterning and careful observation. All of these works are featured in my award-winning picture books. While rooted in reality, the work carries a quiet sense of narrative and charm.

What the critics say:

“If the paintings are the feast, Stockdale’s words are the dessert.” — The Washington Post

“Children will want to linger over the colorful images.” — The Wall Street Journal

“A feast for the eyes.” — Kirkus Reviews

Each painting is available for collectors and art lovers.
