A striking protea flower with layered coral and pink petals crowned by dark stamens rises from a stem lined with sage-green foliage, set against a warm golden-yellow background. The composition balances botanical precision with a stylized, illustrative approach, creating a contemporary still life that feels both grounded and joyful. 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.
