Two stylized tulips with closed buds occupy the upper portion of this composition, while below them unfolds a larger bloom with delicate petals and graceful, curved leaves rendered in white against a deep black ground. The bold, graphic linework creates a striking contrast and speaks to botanical forms through an almost art deco sensibility, emphasizing pattern and silhouette over naturalistic detail. 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.
