Houses in a wood demonstrates Vaughan's dual embrace of figuration and abstraction. His earlier work had been firmly rooted within the figurative tradition closely allied with the Neo-Romantic movement echoing the work of Sutherland, Minton and Piper. In 1953, Vaughan saw an exhibition of Nicholas De Stael's work at Matthiesens and was impressed with de Stael's masterful application of paint. Vaughan never, however, saw himself as a completely abstract artist, commenting, ‘for me painting which has not got a representational element in it hardly goes beyond the point of design’.
