Original oil painting by Liz Vaughn. "Calling Card of Intention". I don't often paint semi nude figures, but sometimes they present themselves as a nudge looking for artistic expansion. That tiny bit of feeling uncomfortable in this unfamiliar territory actually stimulates the senses, and encourages growth. To that note, I have been reaching and stretching and allowing myself the freedom of experimentation. I have always loved Expressionism, it feels free, natural, and uncontrived. I feel an emotional pull, a passion, when I paint in this style that is exciting. It is this uncertainty, and at times frustration, that are guiding and transforming this current body of work.
