Unfinished at the Edges
The same figure drawn in cobalt outline over flat washy colour, the street reduced to a few sketchy strokes on bare canvas.
Caged in Ochre
The same figure isolated in a flat ochre field inside a thin white space-frame, the umbrella flattened to a hovering dome.
Spiky Coat, Bare Paper
The same figure reduced to spiky faceted shapes in broken ink line, the coat and umbrella angular against untouched paper.
The Weight of Wool
The same figure moved indoors to a bare studio wall, the heavy wool coat painted for its sag and bulk in ridged impasto.
Wet Pavement, One Sweep
A woman walking toward the viewer under a clear umbrella, the wet pavement laid in as broad reflective passages of pearl grey and cool blue.
