Gulf of Mexico from the 'Birkdale'
Gulf of Mexico from the 'Birkdale'
A sketch looking towards an empty horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, from the deck of the 'Birkdale'. The artist has experimented with colour and shape to create the dramatic sky and cloud effects. Short brush strokes of horizontal colour represent the sea and the clouds are a solid mass of cream and lilac against a backdrop of vivid blue paint representing sky. A darker cloud is visible in the top of the painting. The formation of the clouds indicates the presence of high winds in the Gulf of Mexico. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920.
