Three koi fish swim and leap through a dark midnight ground, their bodies rendered in warm cream, rust, and burgundy tones with delicate gold leaf accents that catch the light. Water plants and rounded stones anchor the composition, creating a sense of serene movement within an intimate aquatic world painted with the precision and richness of traditional East Asian art. 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.
