A seascape from the barque, 'Suzanne'. The painting uses strong brushstrokes in a herringbone pattern to show the effects of sunlight on the sea and in the sky. Strong slashes of pink and lemon yellow with horizontal slashes of colour and thicker lines of paint indicate the effects of the sun. The artist has taken a low viewpoint to demonstrate the wide expanse of ocean. Painterly concerns and techniques are used to create the impression of a vivid sun low in the sky casting a lemon reflection over the water. The waves darken closer to the viewer. Everett made his final two journeys in a deep-water ship on board the 'Suzanne' between 1928 and 1929 and 1930. Following the First World War, in which a large number of ships were lost, it became extremely difficult to find a berth.
