A lush tropical scene overflows with exotic birds, delicate flowering plants, and layered foliage rendered in rich jewel tones of emerald, sapphire, and coral against a dark ground. The composition layers creatures and botanicals in a densely packed arrangement that suggests a vintage natural history illustration, with intricate linework and hand-painted detail creating depth and movement across the entire surface. 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.
