Warm pinks and rose with large painterly forms flanking the figure. Rich and sensuous. The figure feels present and inhabited.

Warm ochre and flesh tones on the figure against a fractured white ground with bold blue and yellow colour blocks. The grid is loose and painterly rather than hard-edged. Energetic and immediate with strong graphic presence.

Warm grey-brown with tall dark architectural forms flanking the figure on either side. The figure is naturalistically rendered in warm flesh tones against the cool structured surround. Painterly and grounded with a monumental quality.

Warm cream and pale pink with tall flowing organic forms filling the background. A fine woven texture maps figure and ground throughout. Warm and tactile with a gentle flowing quality.

Warm sepia-tan ground with visible canvas or linen texture throughout. Background generates loose angular-organic dark forms — primitive architectural fragments or crude masks. The whole surface has a warm parchment quality. Textured and slightly hallucinatory.

Pale yellow cream and soft mauve-blue build both figure and background as if a pointillist painting has been gently diffused — dots present but bleeding into each other. Background generates large luminous cloud-like forms in the same soft technique. High-key and summery — luminous rather than crisp.

Deep indigo and navy forms fill the background in large bold brushstrokes with warm brown-ochre accents. Figure stands in pale blue-grey tones against the turbulent dark surround. Rich impasto character with genuine menace — the dark masses press in from all sides.

Luminous white cloud forms fill the background with dark charcoal tendril or vine-like marks threading through them. Cool blue-grey at the base. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the pale open surround. Looser and more organic than Pale Damask — botanical rather than decorative.

Warm rose-pink cream and ochre impasto with large rounded floral forms filling the background in thick generous brushwork. Figure merges warmly with the rosy surround. The muted unsaturated tones read as autumn rather than high summer — abundant but cooling.

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.

Saturated yellow ground with vertical streaks and drips of red orange and blue running through the composition like paint in motion. Figure painted in warm flesh and orange-red tones fully absorbed into the blazing ground. Hot gestural and overwhelming.

Pale blue-white ground with large fluid dark forms sweeping in from the sides like heavy shadow or dark marble veining. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with cool blue accents standing clearly in the pale centre. Dramatic and fluid with a marbled quality.
