A minimalist watercolour titled ‘Barton’ of a bright but cloudy sky, where the sky and the sea appear to merge together. The only detail to stand out are the three small boats and the faint haze of land on the horizon. Skyscapes, where the light and movement of cloud formations are the main focus of the painting were popular themes for Knox with the sea or horizon only providing a narrow band at the base of the artwork.
