A lush pink peony blooms in soft watercolor, its layered petals rendered in delicate gradations from deep rose to pale blush. Green stems and leaves frame the flower against a warm cream ground, with subtle shadows giving the bloom gentle dimension and a naturalistic presence. 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.
