'Grey Shore with Boat shows Vaughan experimenting with the different possibilities of the various surfaces he worked on. Here, hessian or plain sacking laid on board gives the painting a soft quality. The artist has rendered the main elements of the painting as simplified geometric shapes, giving the work an abstract quality.' (Anthony Hepworth and Ian Massey, Keith Vaughan, The Mature Oils 1946-1977, Sansom & Company, Bristol, 2012, p.64).
