Fantastic art Rick!!!
There really is nothing like these exciting maritime themes!!!
I always liked the term 'corsairs'
immediately sounds thrilling, fast and formidable (a perfect name for the WWII Navy and Marine fighter planes).
Seeing this picture brings to mind the Mamluk sabres and the Moroccan and Algerian sa'ifs.......
Art is supposed to evoke emotion and passion........this one sure does!
