Roiling flames in deep amber and gold writhe across a dark brown ground, creating an organic pattern that evokes tortoiseshell or molten fire. The composition pulses with movement and warmth, as sinuous ribbons of orange and yellow dance through shadow in a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic rhythm. 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.
