Overlapping cacti in shades of red, teal, olive, cream, and deep purple cluster together in a dense composition, their rounded paddles dotted with small white spines. The soft watercolor technique creates translucent layers that suggest depth and movement, while the muted earth tones and cool blues evoke a natural desert landscape with a contemporary, organic sensibility. 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.
