A sinuous coral snake with a patterned body in deep navy and magenta winds through cream-colored blossoms and green leaves against a soft sage ground, its golden eye alert and watchful. The composition balances the serpent's fluid movement with the geometric precision of the surrounding flora, creating a decorative natural study that feels both whimsical and carefully observed. 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.
