Slender birch trees with pale, textured trunks rise vertically through a forest floor carpeted entirely in burnt orange fallen leaves, their cool gray-blue bark contrasting sharply against the warm, almost monochromatic ground. The composition creates a hypnotic rhythm of vertical lines punctuated by the dense, glowing leaf litter, evoking both the specificity of a particular forest moment and a sense of decorative abstraction characteristic of early 20th-century symbolism. 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.
