A heron extends its wings and neck in a dynamic stretch against a cream-colored ground, with layered blue and teal feathers creating bold geometric patterns across its form. An oversized golden sun glows behind the bird's head, while dark spiky reeds and rippling water in turquoise complete a composed scene that blends illustration with modernist sensibility. 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.
