A sea turtle in a cream-colored bathtub gazes directly outward with a small orange bird perched atop its head, rendered in warm earth tones and detailed naturalistic illustration. The composition centers the creature against a soft sage green background, creating an intimate domestic scene that merges the aquatic and the whimsical. 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.
