A cluster of prickly pear cacti with fleshy green paddles catches warm afternoon light against a weathered pink stucco wall, their forms sharp and sculptural against the soft, textured backdrop. The photograph captures the bold geometry of desert plants with natural color and clarity, balancing the cool greens of the succulents against the dusty mauve tones of aged plaster. 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.
