A layered landscape unfolds from a golden sunrise between distant peaks down through warm amber foothills to a turquoise lake bordered by dense evergreen forests rendered in deep teal and forest green. The composition moves in horizontal bands of soft watercolor washes, with delicate birds scattered across the pale sun and crisp silhouettes of pine trees creating rhythm and depth across the middle and lower registers. 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.
