Could someone help to identify the artist of this oil painting.
The signature look like :Hurst?
Thanks

Thanks... I guess the signature is for "Robert Hurst" but I can not confirm this and also can not confirm who is he. :confused:

Unfortunately the painting, although it well done, is a type that is often done by the dozen in "painting factories". It doesn't mean that it's not good -- just that the artist may have painted this particular painting for the mass market. The artist may have painted this dozens or more times. Typically furniture stores deal in this type of painting. The signature is more than likely actually the artist's name. However, there may be lots of "Hurst" paintings exactly like yours. Like all paintings it is worth exactly what someone will pay for it.

I have a painting with that same artist but is of a bay scene, signed exactly the same way.

Oh really? Where did you bought it? :D

I have a painting that has a similar scene and the same Hurst signature. Bought at a local art sale some 30+ years ago. We are in the Niagara region, Canadian side.

Is this fact or your guess?
