Bottles of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs intermingle with fresh tomatoes, lemons, garlic, and cooking implements across a soft blush-toned ground in this dense, pattern-like composition. Rendered in muted watercolors and delicate line work, the illustration celebrates the essential ingredients and tools of Italian cooking with a nostalgic, hand-drawn charm. 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.
