A plump tortoise sports a towering crown of succulent leaves in shades of pink, turquoise, and sage green, its shell adorned with concentric rings of coral and seafoam. The figure stands against a soft pale yellow ground, rendered in a playful illustrative style that combines whimsy with gentle, muted tones. 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.
