A figure in a warm cream-colored knit sweater holds an open crimson book before their face, from which an explosion of wildflowers, branches, and botanical specimens cascade outward against a dark charcoal background. The composition merges portraiture with surrealism, layering delicate florals in ochre, blush, and ivory tones to suggest imagination and inner worlds blooming from the act of reading. 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.
