Two serpents with ornate heads curve and intertwine across a cream ground, their bodies rendered in warm browns and deep reds with precise scale detailing. Delicate botanical sprigs in olive and sage green radiate from the snakes' heads, creating a symmetrical composition that balances natural history illustration with decorative ornament. 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.
