A cream-colored horse reclines against a stark black background, its form rendered in soft, undulating lines that suggest musculature and flowing mane. The composition balances negative space with organic curves, creating a meditative study in restraint and elegance. 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.
