A metal ladder descends into crystalline turquoise water at the edge of a concrete pool deck, with a lane marker visible on the warm tan surface. The composition captures a moment of quiet anticipation, where cool blues and earth tones create a serene, summery atmosphere bathed in natural light. 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.
