A black bear walks across a cream ground in profile, rendered as a solid dark silhouette with subtle texture suggesting fur and muscle. The composition is spare and contemplative, capturing the animal's powerful yet unhurried gait against a neutral backdrop that emphasizes its form. 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.
