A pheasant with russet and gold plumage takes flight among dense foliage while a squirrel perches on a gnarled tree trunk, surrounded by white and orange wildflowers rendered in the naturalistic decorative style of William Morris. The composition layers leaf forms, flowering plants, and small animals across a deep blue-green ground, creating an intricate, densely patterned forest scene that balances botanical precision with ornamental richness. 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.
