Pale pink and white carnations with deep crimson centers cluster on slender green stems against a near-black background, their delicate petals rendered with soft naturalistic detail. The composition balances botanical precision with an intimate, almost precious quality, as if each bloom has been carefully observed and recorded in a moment of quiet contemplation. 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.
