Five stylized birds in warm earth tones and bold red perch against a soft olive ground scattered with gray organic shapes, each rendered in a flat, mid-century modern illustration style. The composition balances movement and stillness, with the cardinal's vivid scarlet providing a striking focal point among the more muted plumage of its companions. 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.
