Three serpents intertwine across a deep teal ground, their bodies rendered in contrasting patterns of cream and golden ochre with precise scales and intricate detail. The composition captures a moment of dynamic equilibrium, where the snakes' curves echo and complement one another in a naturalistic study executed with the precision of classical natural history illustration. 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.
