A white lifeguard tower marked "5 PIER" stands centered on empty sand, its geometric form framed by calm water and overcast sky. The composition uses soft, muted tones of cream, pale blue, and gray to capture the stillness of an off-season California beach, with the tower's diagonal cross-bracing creating visual stability in a largely empty landscape. 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.
