A single botanical branch with golden-yellow leaves spreads across a deep charcoal background, its organic form anchored at the base and reaching upward in graceful curves. Coral-pink buds cluster delicately among the foliage, creating warmth against the dark ground while the artist's hand-drawn edges give the composition an intimate, deliberately imperfect quality. 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.
