Mari, Thank you for the kind words. I have a terrible time trying to figure out what to do with the background, so maybe I have a tendency to fill the space with the figure. Or I see the empty space as being equal in size, and weight, to the geometric structures of the piece.
In other words, the empty space should equal, not exceed the space that the head and the body take up. I see the whole canvas as a geometric pattern, allowing just enough empty space to balance the figure. I see my still lifes that way also. Actually I do people as if they were props in a still life.
