Seven wooden canoe paddles alternate between rich dark brown and pale natural wood tones, arranged in a vertical striped pattern against a warm cream background. The minimalist composition emphasizes the graceful teardrop and elongated shapes of each paddle blade, rendered with subtle shading that suggests dimension and craftsmanship. 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.
