A pale, serene face gazes forward while molten gold substance drips and flows from the eye sockets and across the cheek in thick, viscous streams. The composition merges classical portraiture with surreal elements, rendered in soft, luminous tones of cream and flesh against a neutral background that emphasizes the striking contrast of the golden material. 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.
