Deep blue with sweeping fluid forms that merge completely with the figure. The hair explodes into waves that fill the entire image. Figure and style become one thing.
Portrait of a partially dressed subject with arms up, diverted eyes, body from the side, lingerie, arms up, cropped at the hip, in a style of total merger between body and sweeping fluid blue energy
Loose fragmented colour patches in blue white and pink on a pale ground. Mosaic-like but free. The fragments scatter across figure and background alike.

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

Pale ground with a dense blue-grey pattern of text-like or script-like marks filling the background. The figure is rendered in warm flesh tones over the inscribed surface. Distinctive and layered with an archaeological quality.

Cool blue and mauve with large rounded petal-like forms filling the background — abstract roses with a crystalline flash. Figure is warm and painterly against the cool floral surround. Soft and romantic but with a sparkling edge. Distinctive and immediately appealing.

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.

Cool ashen blue-grey forms churn through the background in loose gestural marks — chaotic and atmospheric. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the turbulent cool surround. The background energy dwarfs the figure.

Deep saturated navy ground with large warm cream rounded forms glowing loosely behind the figure. Figure painted naturalistically in warm flesh tones. The contrast between the intense blue surround and luminous pale masses gives the image a nocturnal intimacy. Painterly and atmospheric.

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.

Cool blue-grey and warm ochre-gold impasto with large diagonal brushstrokes creating a herringbone pattern across the entire surface. Figure and background unified in the same energetic mark-making. Flattering and enveloping — this style wraps its subject in warmth and movement.

Cool blue-grey and near-black with a blazing white centre that backlights the figure dramatically. Large dark organic forms sweep in from both sides like heavy wings or drawn curtains. Figure sits at the threshold of light and shadow in deep cool tones with only traces of warm flesh breaking through.

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.
