Two ripe plum tomatoes rendered in rich crimson and golden tones are stacked vertically against a soft cream background, with the upper tomato shown whole and the lower tomato sliced to reveal its interior chambers and seeds. Fine botanical illustration technique captures the subtle gradations of color, delicate stem details, and naturalistic shadows that give these humble vegetables an almost jewel-like presence. 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.
