A stacked prickly pear cactus rendered in muted green tones dominates the composition, its paddle-shaped segments dotted with spines and crowned with coral-orange flowers against a warm beige ground. A small black cat sits nestled at the plant's base, anchoring the whimsical scene with a touch of playful humor. 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.
