Frescos, patterns, and mosaics: "Betty Woodman and George Woodman," Charleston, East Sussex, England, 2023
Fragmented frescos glimpsed in Italian churches and Roman ruins, geometry noticed in Cosmati floor mosaics, and patterns seen on tile walls in Spain, Turkey, Morocco, Mexico and Portugal provided decades-worth of ideas for both artists, realized on the floor and on the wall.

Balustrades and architectural influence: "Betty Woodman and George Woodman," Charleston, East Sussex, England, 2023
In the 1980s, George Woodman’s rigorous pattern paintings based in geometric abstraction began to incorporate more representational motifs, including figures, flowers and architectural details. This resulted in a complex layering of forms and colors into foreground and background.
