Woodward's art is notable above all for its sense of place. The physical disability that limited his territory to Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont, far from restricting his artistic vision, enabled Woodward to focus with the passion of a preservationist on the landscapes that surrounded him. His subjects range from his studio window still lifes, to farm houses, barns, and mountain views. To one reviewer he was "once a recorder of landscape facts, now a poet of nature."
