Three sunflowers bloom in delicate progression along a single stem, rendered in fine black line work against a soft white ground. The botanical illustration captures the flowers at different stages of bloom, with intricate detail in the petals, seed centers, and elongated leaves, evoking a naturalist's careful study. 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.
