Soft impressionist brushwork in pale pinks greens and blues with floral forms in the background. Delicate and luminous. The figure feels alive with light and colour.

Cool blue geometric planes like shattered ice filling the background. The figure is refracted rather than rendered. Cold and crystalline.

Deep burnt orange and amber flanking forms cradle a cool white figure. The background generates warm flame-like shapes that contrast sharply with the pale painterly rendering of the figure. Vivid and energetic with strong colour drama.

Dusty mauve-grey stone texture absorbs the figure into the surface. Body reads as shallow relief rather than figure against background. Cool and permanent — the source becomes architecture.

Cool blue taupe and pale rose with rounded smooth boulder forms filling the background. Figure is warm and confident against the cool stone surround. Naturalistic and grounded — the background reads as river-worn stone rather than angular rock. Softer and more painterly than Blue Granite.

Cool silver and blue with dramatic angular mountain-like forms filling the background — jagged peaks or shattered rock faces in dark gestural marks. Figure is warm and painterly against the powerful cool surround. Alpine and commanding. One of the more dramatically structured backgrounds in this range.

Deep crimson and burgundy geometric planes sweep through the background in large bold angular forms. Figure rendered in pale white-grey tones against the rich red surround. Dramatic and saturated — the red commands the image. Architectural but warm-blooded.

Irregular fragments in blue ochre warm taupe white and rose cover the entire surface in a varied and energetic mosaic. Figure built from the same colourful planes with red shoes catching the eye. More saturated and lively than Crockery — the palette of a well-stocked tile market.

Bright cerulean blue upper ground with large pale grey-taupe sculptural forms flanking the figure like twisted columns or sentinel presences. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the vivid blue. Theatrical and architectural — the flanking forms give every subject a dramatic escort.

Large angular planes in white pale grey dusty rose and muted burgundy sweep diagonally across a predominantly white ground like torn or peeling layers of paper. Figure integrated into the fractured pale surface. Light open and architecturally spare.

Large rounded geometric planes in mid blue pale blue-grey cream and warm taupe cover the entire surface in a cool confident mosaic. Figure painted in the same cool tones fully integrated into the ground. Structured and architectural with a glazed ceramic quality.

Flat irregular stone forms in cool grey-white with dark crack lines fill the background like a rendered stone wall. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with precise dark outline standing clearly in front of the flat pale ground. Clean graphic and architectural.
