A young woman with long crimson hair gazes directly outward while wearing a cream-colored straw hat and holding a orchid plant with pink and yellow blooms and emerald green leaves. The composition balances her contemplative expression against the warm glow of the flowers and the cool dark background, rendered in acrylic with painterly precision and rich, naturalistic color. 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.
