Prickly pear cacti cluster densely across a deep teal background, their rounded paddles rendered in shades of green, cream, and coral with bold black outlines. Orange and yellow flowers punctuate the composition, creating a lively botanical study with a contemporary watercolor sensibility and graphic 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.
