A single stem of layered olive-green leaves rises vertically against a soft blue-gray ground, rendered with bold outlines and a naturalistic yet simplified form. The composition centers the botanical subject with quiet restraint, letting negative space breathe around the delicate foliage. 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.
