Warm sandy stone with rounded cobble-like forms filling the background. Soft and tactile. The figure feels set into the surface rather than placed in front of it.

Cool blue-grey stone block architecture fills the background with arched recesses and layered masonry. The figure is warm-toned against a cool structured surround. Painterly and grounded with a classical architectural presence.

Cool grey crosshatch and gestural marks fill the background with organic forms emerging from the surface. The figure is sketched rather than rendered with loose confident line. Immediate and alive with a life-drawing energy.
