A dark navy whale arches gracefully against a pale cream ground, its tail curving upward to cradle a warm orange sun ringed by radiating stripes in shades of gold, green, teal, pink, and red. The composition balances playful geometry with organic form, rendered in flat shapes and soft gradations that create a sense of quiet joy and gentle optimism. 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.
