Slender birch trees with white bark and dark markings stand in dense rows, their trunks stretching vertically through the composition in a rhythm that draws the eye upward. Golden-brown undergrowth anchors the forest floor while bare branches create intricate patterns against a pale winter sky, conveying stillness and quiet contemplation. 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.
