A golden-brown squirrel holds a striped acorn while seated among falling autumn leaves in warm coral and rust tones, rendered in a charming folk-art illustration style. The composition balances the creature's rounded form against a large striped tail and scattered foliage, creating a sense of calm autumnal stillness on a soft pink background. 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.
