Bold mixed impasto strokes in grey pink mauve and ochre fill the background with painterly energy. The figure rides a richly worked surface of broken colour. Lively and immediate with a full warm-cool palette.

Cool blue lavender and silver with a silky vertical flow in the background — draped fabric or cascading water in cool light. Figure is warm against the pearlescent surround. Iridescent and luminous throughout. One of the more delicate and distinctive backgrounds in this range.

Large rounded organic forms in cream pale gold and soft teal-grey pack the background like a mass of open oyster shells. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with the same impasto weight as the surrounding forms. Lush and sculptural — the figure is held rather than swamped.
