The composition of "A Schooner Driven Towards Rocks" is characterized by dynamic brushwork and a palette that reflects the tumultuous weather conditions, with dark clouds and frothing waves dominating the scene. Carmichael's attention to detail in the rendering of the ship and the sea's spray contributes to the overall sense of urgency and danger. As with many of his works, Carmichael demonstrates his deep understanding of ships and their interaction with the water, a knowledge likely honed through his early career as a ship's carpenter.
