A sketch of the sea from the 'Penaglis M. Hadoulis'. The low viewpoint faces towards a trough between two waves. On either side of it the artist has concentrated on the rhythmic patterning of waves on a calm sea. In particular he is concerned to show the vastness and inevitability of the sea as a diagonal rhythmic pattern. The crests of the waves are shown breaking intermittently along each wave. The undersides are arranged as rows of undulations of darker blue paint hatched in short strokes. Light plays across the surface of the water on top of the waves. Everett sailed in the Greek-owned steamer, 'Penaglis M. Hadoulis', from Cardiff, Wales, to Montevideo, Uruguay, and back between December 1931 and March 1932. The painting is inscribed 'PMH' verso.
