Cool grey with a prominent marble or stone form behind the figure. Elegant and architectural. The figure is framed rather than consumed by the background.
Figure sitting, modest pose, downcast eyes, nude, arms raised, cool-toned marble architecture as backdrop, geometric and refined, figure clearly defined
Pale cool ground with ghostly figurative forms emerging from the background. Soft and ethereal. The figure shares the space with phantom presences.
Figure sitting, modest pose, downcast eyes, nude, arms raised, cool-toned figurative work where forms dissolve into spectral, atmospheric haze
Cool grey with large sculptural rock forms in the background. Painterly and soft. The figure sits comfortably in front of the surface.

Warm grey-brown with tall dark architectural forms flanking the figure on either side. The figure is naturalistically rendered in warm flesh tones against the cool structured surround. Painterly and grounded with a monumental quality.

Pale grey and warm brown with large rounded cloud-like forms filling the background. The figure is naturalistically rendered in warm flesh tones against the soft organic surround. Painterly and warm with a gentle depth to the background.
Figure sitting, modest pose, downcast eyes, nude, arms raised, warm browns and pale greys with large rounded forms and softly rendered painterly depth
Warm flesh and pale blue with tiled repeated copies of the figure filling the background in an ordered grid. The central figure stands before a wall of its own reflections. Distinctive and slightly disorienting with a pop multiplicity.

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.

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 teal and blue with swirling rounded organic forms creating a vortex-like background. Dark border frames the composition. Figure is warm against the cool oceanic surround. Dynamic and fluid — the background has genuine rotational energy. Related to Blue Organ but more oceanic than biological.

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.

Entire surface broken into dense confident brushstrokes in cool blue-grey and white — figure and ground unified in the same energetic mark-making. The figure is present but woven into the surface rather than sitting on it. Cool silvery and kinetic.

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.
