A kingfisher perches on a pale branch, its head turned sharply upward in profile with a keen, watchful gaze. The bird's plumage blends rich blues and blacks on the wings with warm rust and cream tones on the breast, rendered in clean, naturalistic detail against a soft neutral background. 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.
