A yellow bear sits contentedly on a cream ground, cradling a small red-and-white figure in its arms with a gentle, protective embrace. Bold strokes in deep brown and teal create movement across the bear's body, while the simplified forms and warm palette convey a sense of comfort and unconditional affection. 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.
