A delicate tulip-tree blossom unfolds at the center of this botanical study, rendered in soft watercolor with pale cream petals tinged in peachy-gold and surrounded by deep green ivy-shaped leaves. The composition balances scientific precision with an intimate, contemplative quality, set against a warm cream ground that suggests the aged paper of a 19th-century naturalist's journal. 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.
