A black and tan dachshund sits expectantly at a wooden chair before a striped tablecloth, gazing directly forward with eager eyes at a plate bearing a single fried egg. The composition uses a soft turquoise background, warm ochre tones, and a folk-art sensibility that captures both humor and poignancy in this moment of anticipation. 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.
