A coiled snake with intricate red and brown patterning winds through delicate green mimosa fronds in this naturalistic illustration rendered against a soft beige ground. The composition balances the serpent's muscular curves with the feathery botanicals, creating a study in natural forms where predator and plant occupy the same graceful space. 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.
