Two long-tailed birds face each other in symmetrical profile, their bodies intertwining with coiled snails, leafy vines, and delicate pink strawberries that dangle from flowering branches above. Rendered in bold black line work against a soft sage green ground, the composition balances intricate botanical detail with a meditative, folkloric sensibility. 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.
