| Description |
English: Sennen Cove A rapidly executed sketch showing waves coming ashore at the beach at Sennen Cove, Cornwall. The artist has defined the characteristics of the painting by dividing the image into horizontal layers. The colour purple is used to unite the shades between sky and sea, while the waves are streaked with turquoise. The artist has concentrated on capturing a fleeting moment in the life of a wave, indicated by the flecks of white. These represent water caught by the wind on the crests of the waves. Following the end of World War I, Everett went to Helston in Cornwall from 28 January 1919. He then moved on to Porthleven before renting a studio at Sennen. He selected it because it had a good view of the sea and stayed there until 11 May. The painting is inscribed 'Sennen' verso. |
