Nine pears in varying stages of ripeness and fill occupy a cream ground in a loose three-by-three grid, each rendered in delicate line work or soft color washes in coral, rust, gray, and navy. The minimalist botanical treatment and restrained palette create a calm, collected mood that feels both timeless and contemporary. 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.
