A rapid sketch of the sea and sky towards an empty horizon, from the deck of the 'Umberleigh'. The sketch demonstrates the emptiness of the sea and the relative isolation of the ship on the ocean. The sky is streaked with horizontal bands of paint varying in thicknesses and colour, with coral red streaked through the cloud. The dark sea is loosely sketched but the slashes of lighter tones suggest the movement of the waves. Everett travelled on the 'Umberleigh' from Barry, Wales, to Vancouver, Canada, from December 1933 to March 1934. The voyage afforded plenty of opportunity to paint and he recorded that, four days out from Barry, they saw the sun every day until they reached the Panama Canal. He regarded these as excellent conditions for painting with plenty of opportunity for colour and effect.
