Deep red and burgundy roses with dark, twisted foliage cluster densely against a soft pink ground, rendered in a classical botanical style with intricate line work and naturalistic detail. The composition feels both romantic and ominous, with the serpentine branches and shadowed leaves suggesting hidden threats within the lush arrangement. 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.
