A red billiard ball numbered 5 rests on a deep blue pool table, casting a soft shadow, while a wooden cue with a white tip angles in from the lower left and a white cue ball sits nearby. The composition uses bold, flat colors and clean geometry to capture a quiet moment of anticipation before the break. 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.
