A white cottage with a rust-colored roof sits on a moss-green hillside overlooking a vivid blue ocean, its weathered wooden structure anchored by dark vegetation in the foreground. Bold brushstrokes and a compressed perspective give the scene an almost flattened quality, while warm ochres and greens play against the cool sea, creating a sense of quiet isolation and contemplative stillness. 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.
