Italian bruschetta and crostini scatter across a cream ground in a cheerful, hand-painted watercolor style, each slice topped with different ingredients like creamy spreads, fresh greens, tomatoes, and cured meats. The repeated phrase "La Dolce Vita" frames the composition, celebrating the simple pleasures of Italian food culture with warm ochre tones, fresh greens, and pops of red. 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.
