Welcome to my online gallery!

This blog will house current projects, competed works, and an archive of past works by me, David M. Vaughn of Cheney, Washington! I prefer charcoal, pencil, ink, and oil pastels. In the future I intend to incorporate sculpture and acrylic painting into my practice - much to learn! I also hope to start incorporating more projects I've got rummaging around in my head and a few of my favorite landscapes in the greater Spokane area. Once I get a start on anything, I'll post on the Work-in-Progress page.

For the time being the body of my work is focused on figure drawing, a discipline I greatly enjoy and can't learn enough from. I will be incorporating more projects I am working on as time progresses.

Finally getting back to work! New series in the works...

Untitled, Life and Sun, Charcoal on 80 lb., 54"X36"




I'm beginning a new series today - the subject is going to revolve around the sun, our relationship to it, and our relationship to each other. It brings together two features that have long captivated my attention; the primary body in which our solar system revolves and depends upon, and the human figure. So here we goooo!!!!!!

Right now vine charcoal is being used to trace whatever needs to be expressed and how it relates to everything else. Once I reach a point where the rough idea is in place, I'll start laying down the nice, dark, chunky charcoal and begin the process of laying it down and taking it away.

Stay tuned!
