A collection of nine colorful beetles arranged in a loose scattered composition against a soft white ground, each rendered in warm pastels with orange, red, purple, green, and brown tones. The artist captures each insect with playful personality, using gentle color gradations and simple linework that feels both naturalistic and whimsical. 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.
