A comprehensive collection of hand-painted freshwater fish species floats across a white ground, each rendered in naturalistic detail with muted earth tones, warm browns, soft greens, and silvery grays. The composition arranges fish of varying sizes and orientations in a scattered, encyclopedic manner, creating an educational yet contemplative portrait of regional aquatic life. 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.
