A collection of red-eared slider turtles in varying sizes swims across a deep black ground, their shells rendered in warm yellows and oranges while their bodies glow in shades of chartreuse and lime green. The artist has arranged them with playful asymmetry, each turtle displaying a distinct personality through its posture and expression, creating a lively rhythm that fills the composition with movement and charm. 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.
