P is for Poet

Full title is "P is for Poet with an Unimpressed Owl." The figure and ornamentations are based on the St. Albans Psalter, completed shortly after the Norman Conquest. Norman influence is seen in the flowing thick/thin lines to indicate shape and shading. The elongated fingers are also typical of the Psalter. The owl, who knows? I guess it's just my sense of reality. There's always a critic hanging about.
