A majestic elk with towering antlers stands alert in golden dry grass, its pale coat contrasting sharply against a dark forest backdrop. The composition captures the animal in stark, moody isolation, with deep shadows and natural lighting that emphasize the raw power and solitude of wilderness. 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.
