A decorated evergreen tree laden with colorful ornaments and garland stands alone on a winter beach, its branches heavy with reds, blues, golds, and greens against pale sand and calm waters. A bright yellow sun hovers in the upper left while gray-green sky meets the horizon, creating a surreal collision of holiday warmth and coastal solitude rendered in collage and mixed media. 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.
