A serene mountain lake anchors this layered landscape, its deep navy waters reflecting golden wildflowers and forested shores beneath a gentle sun and clear sky. The composition builds in horizontal bands of color, from rust-orange earth in the foreground through pink-tinged trees and dark evergreens to a dramatic blue-grey peak, rendered in flat, saturated tones that create a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. 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.
