Three gerberas in shades of pink, red, and golden yellow bloom from a single stem against a deep charcoal ground, their petals rendered in jewel-toned detail with delicate stippling and gilded edges. The botanical study captures the flowers in a classical naturalistic style, with carefully observed leaves and stems that suggest both scientific precision and romantic reverence for the living plant. 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.
