Original oil painting by Liz Vaughn. "Sentire". There was a moment earlier in the year where I felt a "switch" flip. My usual "go to" style of female figurative work seemed hollow, and somehow no longer engaging to me. I am quite sure this experience is nothing new to artists, rather more of a familiar companion. 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.
