Layered petals in crimson and magenta bloom outward from a soft center, their translucent forms creating depth through overlapping washes of pink, coral, and cream. The composition radiates warmth and movement, rendered in loose, fluid watercolor that captures the generous fullness of a peony at peak bloom. 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.
