A striped beach umbrella in cobalt and white stands planted in sand against a soft blue sky, rendered in loose watercolor washes that blur the boundary between sea and shore. The composition captures a moment of quiet seaside stillness, with the umbrella's shadow pooling beneath it and the horizon dissolving into gentle gradations of blue and gray. 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.
