Seascape from the 'Birkdale'
A sketch showing the dramatic effects of colour in the sky created by the setting sun. The painting was made during Everett's trip on the 'Birkdale'. He has concentrated on the moment the sun hovers on the horizon before dropping out of sight. In particular he has examined the effect created in the sky with vivid horizontal bands of red-purple, blue and orange above a yellow band of sky. The same colours also play over the surface of the water. The sun is still visible as a bright spot of light in the central distance. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920.
