Towering dark cypress trees frame a shadowed forest path that recedes toward bright sunlit foliage and a glimpse of blue sky, their massive trunks rendered in deep charcoal against emerald undergrowth. A solitary figure walks the middle distance, dwarfed by the ancient giants, while soft golden light filters through the canopy to illuminate the path ahead with an almost spiritual clarity. 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.
