Helen Vaughn uses oil on canvas as a medium to create a peaceful forest, in “Late Afternoon Landscape 2”. Also, as her Element of Art, she uses light to create a peaceful warmth. Her Principle of Design, repetition and rhythm, adds to that peacefulness by providing a secure feeling.
If one looks closely at Vaughn’s paint it seems murky, with no meticulous details. The tree trunks are not detailed with bark and the leaves are muddled together. However, if one takes a step back the entire picture comes to life. It is as if they are in their in the forest, with the warmth of the sun on their face and a breeze shuffling the leaves at their feet. It is as if Vaughn is painting the old proverb, “see the forest for the trees”. She implores her viewers
