A cream-colored polar bear sits in profile against a soft sage green ground, its rounded form rendered in gentle, simplified shapes that convey both strength and tenderness. A small figure in dark blue and gold nestles against the bear's head in an embrace, their connection expressed through minimal line work and a quiet, contemplative mood. 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.
