A plump Eurasian bullfinch with a striking red breast and grey-black back perches delicately on a stem of pale yellow flowers with soft green leaves. The composition uses warm, muted tones against a cream ground, rendered in a gentle illustrative style that captures both the bird's rounded form and the botanical detail with equal care. 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.
