Scattered objects of literary leisure and domestic comfort fill a cream background, rendered in warm tones of ochre, brown, and soft blue. Open books, teacups, brass compasses, leather satchels, and botanical sprigs overlap in a gentle, hand-painted composition that celebrates the rituals of reading and 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.
