A digital painting of an abstract seascape with patterns, lines, and textures; a virtual oil painting of clouds, fused with a watercolor silk, complicated by green virtual yarn. The two figures are a bound albatross and a heron. In his poem, The Albatross, Charles Baudelaire compared the absurd reality of the poet to the majestic bird that's ill-suited to life on the ground. 

"The poet resembles the prince of the clouds

Who is friendly to the tempest and laughs at the bowman;

Banished to ground in the midst of hootings,

His wings, those of a giant, hinder him from walking."
