Soft painterly impasto in warm flesh and stone tones. The background reads as marbled or plastered surface. Figure and ground feel made of the same material.

Bold red and white with organic sculptural forms surrounding the figure. The red bleeds into white rather than filling hard shapes. Dramatic and immediate.

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.
