A tall columnar cactus stands centered against a soft peachy background, its green segmented body dotted with delicate pink and coral roses blooming across its surface. The composition balances botanical realism with a gentle, almost whimsical sensibility, creating a moment of unexpected tenderness between thorns and blossoms. 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.
