A flock of red cardinal birds with textured crimson plumage and golden-yellow feet scatter across a pale cream ground in a loose, organic composition. Each bird is rendered with a delicate stippled pattern and turned in a slightly different direction, creating a sense of gentle movement and playful spontaneity. 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.
