Figure in Crimson and Charcoal

A woman seen from behind, her head and upper body built from loose charcoal-black brushwork, stands at the centre of this expressive figurative painting. A small off-shoulder crimson top provides a vivid point of colour against the dark sweep of her skirt, which spreads in palette-knife texture to the bottom edge of the canvas.

The background is a warm cream field layered with scumbled passages of burnt sienna and terracotta orange, soft glazing, and faint diagonal underdrawing. A moody, contemporary piece suited to a living room, bedroom or office wall.
