Two hands clasp in tender union, their warm brown skin adorned with a riot of white flowers and sage green leaves that cascade across the composition like a living garland. Against a soft beige ground, the illustration captures an intimate gesture of connection rendered in gentle, naturalistic tones with careful attention to the delicate interplay of flora and human form. 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.
