A decorative ceramic vase with a terracotta-red checkerboard pattern holds three golden-yellow flowers with black stems and white-centered petals against a warm beige ground. The composition balances bold geometric patterning in the vessel below with the organic simplicity of the blooms above, rendered in a flat, illustrative style that echoes mid-century folk art traditions. 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.
