A dark maroon vase with organic, curved handles anchors this composition, its form echoing the silhouette of a classical urn against a soft sage green ground. Arching black lines rise from the vessel's top like stylized flower stems or tentacles, each ending in a small orange bloom, while vertical stripes in muted greens ground the piece below. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
