A bold orange flower with sweeping, curved petals rises from the left against a bright yellow ground, its organic forms suggesting the cut-paper technique Matisse pioneered. A hot pink circle floats above like a sun, creating a dynamic dialogue between plant and celestial forms in a composition of pure, joyful color. 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.
