A dense underwater coral reef teems with ornate sea anemones, branching corals, and schools of golden fish rendered in rich jewel tones against a pale turquoise water. The composition layers intricate botanical detail with scientific precision, creating a sense of teeming life and organic abundance through layered greens, coral reds, and warm ochres. 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.
