A pied oyster-catcher with dark plumage, bright red-orange beak, and white belly swoops dynamically across a coastal landscape of rolling waves and golden sand. The composition combines naturalistic bird illustration with a stylized seascape rendered in muted greens and blues, while a delicate fishing fly hovers above in the upper left. 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.
