Two ornate betta fish with flowing, feathered fins float against a deep teal background, their scales rendered in warm metallics of gold, copper, and rose. The composition captures the fish mid-swim with dramatic movement, their delicate fins spreading like silk ribbons across the dark water, creating an almost baroque sense of opulence and grace. 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.
