Red carnations and smaller golden blooms radiate outward from dark teal geometric stars across a deep charcoal ground, their forms repeating in a dense, symmetrical pattern inspired by Victorian damask ornament. The composition balances botanical richness with architectural precision, creating a mood that is both romantic and controlled, with warm florals anchoring cool shadows. 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.
