A figure in a striped swimsuit floats on turquoise water, reading a book with legs raised in pure relaxation beneath a pale sun. Soft watercolor washes create a serene coastal scene, with warm cream skies meeting cool aqua waters in a composition that captures the unhurried freedom of a beach day. 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.
