The story
behind the painting:
"Blue Desert" was inspired by the song of the same
title. The mood of the painting captures the long, emotionally
solitary journeys out on the open sea which many a sailor has
embarked upon. It is a sea which appears to be an endless desert,
a blue desert to those lonely sailors whose fate it is to forever
wander the oceans. The blue desert makes the sailor dream of the
bright lights of the harbour towns, the bars and the girls.
