A orange moth spreads its wings at the center of this composition, surrounded by an intricate arrangement of delicate white and purple flowers, spiky pink seed pods, lush green foliage, and a praying mantis rendered in luminous detail against a deep black background. The artwork combines naturalistic illustration with an almost jewel-like intensity, layering botanical specimens in a dense, symmetrical garden that celebrates the interdependence of insects and flowering plants. 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.
