A profusion of roses, carnations, and tulips in coral, cream, and dusky purple spill from a bronze urn against a nearly black background, their petals rendered with luminous detail and soft gradations of light. A delicate blue ribbon and pocket watch rest at the base of the composition, anchoring this meditation on transience and botanical splendor with symbols of time's passage. 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.
