A dark brown ceramic vase holds a cascade of orange iris blooms against a deep slate blue background, their delicate petals unfurling with organic grace. The composition balances the weight of the vessel with the lightness of the flowers, creating a study in contrasts between earthy warmth and cool shadow. 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.
