Dark teal sardines with bright red tails swim in neat horizontal rows across a soft blue water background, their elongated bodies aligned in a rhythmic, almost musical pattern. The composition creates a sense of ordered movement and calm repetition through its clean lines, minimal palette, and balanced arrangement of ten fish across the composition. 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.
