Five red carnations with ruffled petals stand upright against a soft pink ground, their long stems rendered in clean red lines with minimal detail. The composition is spare and graphic, emphasizing the silhouettes of the blooms through bold color contrast and a modern, almost poster-like 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.
