The desert song

“I have always loved the desert. 
One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. 
Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams...” 



The Three Muses asked for White Space which means that two thirds of the space should be relatively unadorned. I went for deserts and when I was looking for odalisques I stumbled with this magnificent photo of Elizabeth Taylor by Firooz Zahedi. As the copy was very poor I had to work on it a little bit. Background is a photo of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, the Algodones Dunes, in California. Font is Arab Dances. I also used a linen texture.

  1. This is so beautiful, Chris. The image is wonderful, especially as it started out as a poor copy. I love the brilliant colour against the textured sands and I love your use of white space which certainly proves that sometimes less is more.
