A striped ceramic bowl overflowing with green olives, their pits rendered in warm red-orange, sits centered against a soft cream ground with a subtle vertical stripe pattern in muted teal and cream. A single utensil rests diagonally beside the bowl, completing a composition that evokes mid-century domestic still life with a restrained, illustrative approach and gentle, nostalgic warmth. 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.
