A black cat sits centered against a warm terracotta-red background, its body rendered in dark, textured strokes that create depth and movement across the fur. Golden eyes gaze directly forward with quiet intensity, while a delicate red collar with a small bell catches light against the cat's neck, the speckled ground suggesting an aged or weathered quality to the whole composition. 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.
