A black bird perches delicately on an outstretched hand, rendered in soft watercolor tones against a pale cream ground. Ribbons of pink, black, and gray stream from the bird's beak in clean, graphic lines, creating a striking contrast between the naturalistic figure and the bold, abstract gesture. 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.
