Deep crimson ground with figure in dark outline. Theatrical and confrontational — contrast borders on violent at the face. Figures feel exposed and stage-lit against slashing red forms.

Cool blue-grey palette with chunky broken brushwork throughout. Background generates irregular boulder or cloud-like forms in blue grey and muted brown. Figure merges softly with the cool ground. Loose and painterly with a raw textural quality.

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.
