There's this one - very similar to Karen's

https://www.ebth.com/items/9381904-oil-on-canvas-nautical-painting

https://ebth-com-production.imgix.net/2018/08/31/13/34/02/cf5809af-ee92-49b5-bbb7-b5ce231f6d72/IMG_9017.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&w=880&h=880&fit=crop&crop=&auto=format

Very similar indeed!
And the name (whatever it may turn out to be  :D) is the same.

How come Google couldn't find that for me?!  :-\
(Having said that, with friends & family in England and Spain, I know that the search results here in Germany are often wildly different from those obtained in other countries...  :P)

Best regards,
Karen

Just found this link:

Scroll down.

Add - close up here:

Thanks for that!
I can't see a signature. either. The painting looks a little less detailled than mine, but the image is a little fuzzy.

Well, at least we are making a little progress!  :)

Thanks again!
Karen

Try Ken HOHING.

The Ken Hohing that I found earlier  is a photographer - University of Rutgers. Not sure it is him - see my earlier post.

I didn’t look that closely, I was concentrating on the signature which matches the original picture.
