A vivid crimson peony rises from a layered landscape of textured grays and blacks, its petals rendered in rich detail against abstracted terrain below. Birds fly across a cream sky dotted with a single black sun, while the composition merges botanical precision with collage elements, balancing delicate naturalism with bold graphic shapes. 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.
