A bright red lobster sits centered on a cream ground, its claws raised and body rendered in bold, warm tones that dominate the composition. Surrounding the crustacean in a symmetrical arrangement are delicate blue-leafed sprigs and soft pink flowers, creating a playful contrast between the commanding presence of the lobster and the ornamental botanicals that frame it. 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.
