Seascape from the 'Suzanne'

BHC0003

Seascape from the 'Suzanne' Long Caption: A seascape painted from the deck of the 'Suzanne', looking towards an empty horizon. The dark blue of the calm sea is set in contrast with the lighter pink and blue clouds and pale sky. The sketch is impressionistic in technique and colour and the loose painting style emphasizes the vastness of the sea. Everett produced hundreds of similar rapid seascapes done on the spot, sometimes painted in quick succession. He was intent upon capturing the relationship and fleeting nature of light and the movement of waves in an ever-changing sea.
