Two red roses with green stems and leaves emerge from a soft sage vase against a bold checkerboard backdrop of peach, black, and deep forest green. The composition balances botanical realism in the flowers with geometric abstraction in the patterned surround, creating a playful tension between nature and structure. 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.
