Birch trees with golden foliage stand reflected in still water, their trunks rendered in warm browns and creams while the canopy glows yellow and amber above. The composition shifts from warm autumn tones on the left through cool greens and blues on the right, creating a luminous watercolor study of light filtering through a forest at water's edge. 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.
