A coiled serpent rendered in warm browns and golds dominates the center of this naturalistic composition, flanked by two delicate green botanical specimens rendered in fine detail. The pale beige ground and linear hatching technique evoke the precision of historical scientific illustration, creating a balanced study of natural form with an archival 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.
