Head Back

In close profile, a woman tips her head back and looks upward, chin raised and eyes half-lidded. Her black bob with a blunt fringe frames a pale face lit as if by strong sun, with navy shadow on her eyelid and bright red-orange lips slightly parted. She wears an orange top with a black collar. Behind her run hard-edged diagonal bands of cream, navy and red, all flat vector shapes without outlines.

Red, tangerine, navy, black and cream: a confident, sunlit palette. Her face sits in the upper half, and the lifted chin points the eye up and out to the right. The orange shoulder and navy stripe fill the lower half like a colour block poster. It suits an entry, a bedroom or a wall shared with mid-century furniture.
