A delicate butterfly rendered in soft watercolor washes of blue and cyan floats against a pale cream ground, its wings translucent and luminous. The artist has captured the gentle spread of pigment and the subtle gradations of tone that give the insect an ethereal, almost dreamlike 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.
