Two cranes with black heads and wings stretch across a cream-colored moon against a deep forest green ground, their bodies rendered in soft tan and their legs trailing delicately behind. The composition captures a moment of graceful, synchronized flight with an economy of line and a serene, almost meditative quality that evokes Japanese ukiyo-e printmaking. 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.
