Seven sardines in varying patterns of cobalt blue and cream layer horizontally across a soft beige ground, their elongated bodies rendered in a graphic, illustrative style with detailed scales and fins. The composition creates a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement where the fish alternate in color and direction, suggesting movement and abundance with a quiet, contemplative sensibility. 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.
