A dark-skinned figure in a cream swimsuit poses gracefully against a deep teal background, framed by oversized prickly pear cacti with pink blooms. The composition balances the softness of the flowers and the figure's elegant posture with the sharp geometry of the cacti, creating a striking contrast between delicacy and resilience. 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.
