A seascape painted from the deck of the 'Suzanne', looking towards an empty horizon. The dark blue of the calm sea is set in contrast with the lighter pink and blue clouds and pale sky. The sketch is impressionistic in technique and colour and the loose painting style emphasizes the vastness of the sea. Everett produced hundreds of similar rapid seascapes done on the spot, sometimes painted in quick succession. He was intent upon capturing the relationship and fleeting nature of light and the movement of waves in an ever-changing sea. Everett made his final two journeys in a deep-water ship on board the 'Suzanne' between 1928 and 1929 and 1930. Following the First World War, in which a large number of ships were lost, it became extremely difficult to find a berth.
