Sennen Cove, Cornwall Long Caption: A rapidly executed sketch showing the effects of waves close to the Cornish coast at Sennen Cove. The painting is taken from a low perspective so that the waves seem on the same eye level as the viewer. Everett has applied a thick layer of paint to show waves coming ashore, painting the underside of each wave with thick bands of colour. The sky has been boldly and rapidly treated with large sweeps of colour. Despite the sketchy quality of the image, it is full of movement and dramatic effect.
