The Omega workshop had made an impact on Bell like most of her fellow artists that participated in the venture. Here in this painting we see that Bell experiment with just color, no figurative aspcts at all. Even in the Omega Workshop Bell rarely worked in this abstract style. This painting was show cased and even received positive reviews, but Bell her self found that this is not where she wanted to continue with her art. She did however adopt a less figurative form for a time for her still lifes.

a much later self portrait shows the mixes of influence from the past from renaissance of northern Italy to characterization of the face as with Ingres and contemporary brush stroke techniques of painterly impressionistic qualities. She was a woman of many styles and constant development, just to fit her own need to show her personal ideas on art.
