A prickly pear cactus with broad, flat green paddles stands in full bloom beside cheerful yellow wildflowers, all nestled against a weathered dark wood backdrop. The photograph captures the warm, earthy palette of desert botanicals with soft natural light that brings out the tender details of the blooms and the sculptural form of the succulents. 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.
