A large black bear bends down to meet a small child face-to-face in a moment of gentle curiosity, while geometric shapes in red, orange, and teal form the bear's body. Against a cream background under a warm orange sun, the composition captures an intimate encounter between human and animal rendered in bold, simplified forms and a folk-art sensibility. 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.
