Thank-you very much, Alex. I tend to need to make the background flesh-like, even when it is not the colour of flesh (as in my current paintings). Perhaps it is because of my extreme limitations that the only real subject for me is the form of the human body, and everything tends to turn into that. That is why the faces for me, especially the eyes and the mouth, which are really difficult to see in terms of tone and form, take so long to get right, and that is why the background, when it is most honestly my own work looks flesh-like too.
