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

Warm ochre and flesh tones on the figure against a fractured white ground with bold blue and yellow colour blocks. The grid is loose and painterly rather than hard-edged. Energetic and immediate with strong graphic presence.

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.

High-key warm white with large fractured plaster forms filling the background. Cool shadows give the pale surface depth and sculptural weight. Light and substantial with a bleached stone 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 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.

Dark charcoal and deep purple flank large pale glowing rock or ice forms behind the figure. Scattered leaf shapes in the upper corners add a decorative note. Figure is warm against the luminous pale centre. Dramatic contrast between glowing stone and dark surround. Moody and painterly.

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.

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.

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.
