Dark grey with cave-like grotto forms in the background. Hints of pink and mauve bleed through the stone texture. Cooler and moodier than Cool Slate.

Pale cool ground with ghostly figurative forms emerging from the background. Soft and ethereal. The figure shares the space with phantom presences.

Fine mosaic tessera texture over pale grey-white stone forms flanking the figure. The surface maps figure and background in the same fragmented material. Cool and tactile with an archaeological quality.

Cool grey-brown with tall dark arched panels flanking the figure. The panels carry circular rivet-like forms giving the background a strong industrial character. Stark and architectural with a mechanical edge.

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.

Deep cobalt blue ground with a dramatic white rock or ice formation rising behind the figure. Figure is warm and painterly against the cold blue and white surround. Alpine and stark — one of the most dramatically simple backgrounds in this range. Cool and confident.

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.

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.

Pale azure ground with large draped forms described in clean dark contour line. Figure rendered in the same decisive line with warm flesh tones. One of the more reliably flattering styles available. The clean line finds and elevates the essential form in almost any source.

Pale blue and cream angular planes fill the background in large airy blocks — bright and open rather than heavy. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the luminous cool ground. Light-filled and confident.

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.

Flat irregular stone forms in cool grey-white with dark crack lines fill the background like a rendered stone wall. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with precise dark outline standing clearly in front of the flat pale ground. Clean graphic and architectural.
