A single stem with alternating leaves in shades of black, deep green, and pale chartreuse emerges from a simple vessel rendered in soft gray and lavender tones. The composition is set against a warm cream ground, balancing organic asymmetry with quiet restraint through its watercolor-like application and careful attention to negative space. 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.
