A forested stream winds through dense woodland where autumn foliage explodes in layers of red, orange, yellow, and green, with dark tree trunks anchoring the composition. The paint is applied in bold, rhythmic strokes that capture both the structure of the trees and the luminous quality of fall light filtering through the canopy. 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.
