A red-bearded sailor sits at the helm of a boat, holding the ship's wheel with one hand while cradling a small dog in his lap, rendered in soft watercolor tones of blue, cream, and muted gray. The composition captures a moment of quiet companionship on the open water, with delicate linework defining the sailor's features and tattooed arms, while a white cloud drifts overhead and the wooden deck grounds the scene in nautical detail. 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.
