Two intertwined serpents with scaled teal and gold bodies form a graceful oval knot against a soft beige ground, their heads facing opposite directions with delicate red flowers sprouting between them. The composition recalls classical natural history engravings, rendered in precise linework with warm metallic accents that give the serpents an almost jeweled quality. 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.
