A monarch butterfly spreads its wings symmetrically against a soft white ground, its wings rendered in rich burnt orange with bold black veining and cream-colored spots along the edges. The composition is centered and frontal, capturing the insect with scientific precision while maintaining an organic, lifelike quality in its coloring and form. 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.
