A red-headed Australian King Parrot perches in profile against a soft beige background, its orange crown and crimson breast contrasting with deep forest-green wings rendered in delicate linear detail. The illustration employs a warm, muted palette and a calm, almost meditative composition that captures the bird's dignified posture with understated elegance. 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.
