Orange California poppies rise in dense clusters against a warm beige ground, their petals rendered in shades of golden yellow, burnt orange, and cream with bold dark outlines. The composition radiates a distinctly retro sensibility, with simplified forms and a flat, graphic quality that captures the optimism and warmth of 1970s botanical illustration. 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.
