A golden retriever's face gazes directly outward, rendered in bold, expressive strokes of orange, yellow, magenta, and cyan that fragment and layer across the canvas. The dog's warm amber eyes and gentle expression anchor the composition while energetic color blocking and gestural marks create a sense of movement and emotional intensity against the vivid background. 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.
