A mother koala cradles her smaller joey on her back, both rendered in soft gray-brown tones with gentle pink inner ears that add warmth to their muted palette. The composition centers the pair against a clean white ground, capturing an intimate moment of maternal tenderness through understated watercolor brushwork and a calm, nurturing mood. 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.
