This 30×40 mixed medium painting by Stephen Stocklin features an energetic burst of deep blues and teals that dominate the center of a pale gray-white canvas. A bold ochre-yellow horizontal stroke cuts across the upper portion like a horizon line, while scattered accents of bright red-orange, violet, and mint green punctuate the composition. The blue forms have an organic, cloud-like quality with gestural edges that dissolve into drips and delicate linear marks. The surrounding white field is subtly textured, creating a sense of atmospheric space around the concentrated color.
The painting evokes the sudden emergence of emotion—like a wave of feeling breaking through calm, bringing with it fragments of joy, pain, and memory all at once. The yellow stroke suggests illumination or revelation, a moment when inner turbulence becomes visible and undeniable against the quiet expanse of daily existence.
