The swirling foam around the rocks suggests a continuing if more subdued motion to the wild spray of the oncoming waves. In the distance, a mottled pink and gray sky sets a dusky scene. #429 in Edgar Payne Catalog "Foam and Rocks" Provenance:Andrew Jones Art, Los Angeles, California.The Collection of Jack & Ellen Phillips, Los Angeles, CaliforniaPrivate Collection, Orem, Utah
