Water lilies float across a shadowed pond, their yellow and pink blooms scattered among rippling reflections and submerged vegetation rendered in soft greens and lavenders. Monet captures the interplay of light on water's surface through loose, impressionistic brushwork that dissolves the boundary between reflection and reality. 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.
