| Description |
English: Le Croisic A rapid sketch using colour to dramatize the relationship between sea and sky. The dark grey waves are raised on the right and the sea is slashed with colour. The sky is painted purple with a strip of salmon pink on the horizon. On the left a block of lemon colour, streaked with red, indicates the setting sun. Reflections from the sky can be seen on the surface of the water in the foreground. During December 1921 Everett stayed at the Fort de L'Océan hotel, Le Croisic, near Saint-Nazaire, in the Loire-Atlantique. The hotel was positioned above the rocks and afforded a panoramic view of the sea. He was the only person staying in the hotel, and from his vantage point in the glass verandah, he was able to see the sun rise and set over the Atlantic. Everett befriended the skipper of a four-masted barque, 'Hagomont', and frequently sailed in her to Saint-Nazaire. He made other short trips in her to visit fishing ports such as Piriac, Pamic and Nantes. Everett produced a large number of paintings during his stay here, demonstrating his painterly concerns with the effects of light on the sea and sky. The painting is inscribed 'Le C' verso. |
