A gentle whale in soft sage green lounges on its side while small figures in navy climb ladders and slide down its massive body in a whimsical scene of aquatic play. The composition sits against a soft gray ground, rendered in a flat, illustrative style that captures a dreamlike moment of joy and wonder. 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.
