A painting of a black Labrador Retriever lying on an irregular grey stone patio under a palm tree. The scene is strongly backlit by bright light. An empty black garden chair and a field or beach populated sparsely with vegetation is visible beyond the palm leaves.

A painting showing a scene at dusk. The sun is low in the deep blue sky and illuminates the side of a brown stone wall. In the foreground is a low lying patch of grasses which fringe a short grey staircase or pathway leading up to the wall.

A painting of seascape. The water is elegantly patterned with small ripples in blue hues, transitioning from a darker colour in the foreground to a light turquoise at the horizon. The horizon line cuts through the centre of the image, and a bright gently gradated blue sky occupies the top half of the image.]

A painting of a close-up of a bright flowerhead shining against a black background. The stem protrudes in from the left of the painting, and the various green anthers emerge from this amongst a base of brown leaves.

A painting of the edge of a forest. Tall trees of various luscious green hues reach up towards a bright blue sky. Small sections of sky are visible through the foliage. In the foreground, a red dirt path skirts the edge of the trees and leads the eye off the left-hand side of the canvas.

A black and white photograph of figures in the New York subway

A photograph showing a wall painting of a repeating pattern of black six-pointed stars on a curved white ceiling. The stars diminish in scale from the top of the image to the bottom as the room recedes

A close-up of a complex geometric pattern composed of various triangles which come together to form hexagons, rendered in gold leaf on a plain grey concrete ceiling.

A black and white photograph showing the outline of a six-pointed star being painted in black on a white ceiling. The artist’s hand is visible in the foreground of the image and the bristles of his brush are gently compressed against the ceiling.

An open blue door in a small arched alcove opens onto a curved room. The white walls are painted with a repeating pattern of curved black triangles. Outside this door a garden is just visible along with a black cast iron railing. Sunlight streams through the door and from a window above it.

A photograph of a ceiling replete with an ornate circular alcove bordered with golden floral-styled cornicing. In the centre there is a symmetrical design in gold leaf. The shapes that make up the pattern resemble abstract flowers or avian forms.
