A puffin gazes upward with distinctive black and white head markings and a bright orange beak, rendered in watercolor with expressive ink linework that defines its form. Splashes and splatters of blue, purple, orange, yellow, and red radiate outward across a cream ground, creating an energetic abstract counterpoint to the bird's realistic facial features. 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.
