A dark-skinned figure in a crisp white garment stands amid towering prickly pear cacti with pink blooms, set against a deep black background. The composition balances organic botanical forms with the sculptural pose of the subject, creating a striking study in contrasts between softness and sharpness, delicacy and strength. 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.
