A sketch of the sea made while the artist was at Corbiere in Jersey. At the point of the empty horizon the sky glows in bands of pink, yellow and grey blue. The sketch concentrates on the movement of waves and on the honeycomb effect of the light foam bottom left. Everett painted a large number of sketches observing the movement of waves approaching the shore and experimented with colour and form to achieve the effects he sought. Everett was concerned with the effects of light and representations of light in the sky and the relationship between the sea and the sky. He stayed at Corbiere from 13 January to 6 February 1928, to paint the constantly changing appearance of sea and sky. The sketch is inscribed with the artist's monogram bottom right, and 'Jersey' verso.
