A solitary gnarled tree clings to the left foreground of a dramatic coastal scene, while turbulent waves crash against dark rocky cliffs beneath towering storm clouds suffused with golden light. The composition balances the delicate tree against massive geological formations and roiling sky, rendered in warm ochres, deep grays, and amber tones that suggest both the violence of nature and moments of celestial grace breaking through. 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.
