A dense arrangement of root vegetables in various stages of growth displays carrots, turnips, radishes, and beets in warm oranges, deep purples, and creamy whites against a pale beige ground. Hand-colored botanical illustration technique brings scientific precision to the composition, with each vegetable rendered in careful detail, its leafy greens rising upward in naturalistic clusters. 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.
