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.

Cream sand and dark charcoal in large irregular mosaic pieces — Roman floor tile or unearthed archaeological surface. Figure integrates into the mosaic ground. Neutral and substantial rather than energetic. Background has a genuinely ancient and excavated quality.

Warm cream impasto background covered in large swirling floral forms — the brocade fabric of a sofa that was never meant to be sat on. Figure rendered in warm flesh tones that merge politely with the respectable surround. Comfortable and slightly suffocating.

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.

Large angular faceted planes in pale blue-grey white and cream cover the entire surface like crumpled paper or crushed ice. Figure painted in warm flesh tones sits gently against the cool crystalline ground. Precise delicate and icy.

Large irregular pale grey-white forms suggest rough-hewn rock faces receding behind the figure. Cool blue ground visible between the forms. Figure painted in warm flesh tones standing clearly against the pale rocky ground. The figure commands the space with quiet authority.
