A white-faced owl with striking golden-orange eyes stares directly forward, its dark plumage rendered in intricate linear detail against a cream background scattered with olive and gold foliage. The composition balances naturalistic feather work with decorative patterning, creating a portrait that feels both observational and ornamental. 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.
