I was at a flee-market in Palo Alto, CA, and saw that old lady selling paintings. She said it is all left from her husband who just recently has died. There were 4-5 great paintings, but this one struck me when I saw it, but I can't remember where did I see it or who is the artist. It looks like a master's hand. The style is of something of french impressionists, though the subject is a landscape like pacific islands, carribians or Hawaii. There is no signature on it, but it is old, has simple framing and there is a note on the back saying "Pincus Picture Frame Shop, 141 Montague St, Brooklyn, N.Y.". Can anyone help me identify it? I know it is hard with no signature on it, but I definitely saw it somewhere or saw similar art of the same artist.

Your best bet is to find who restored it. The label says it was regilded and there can't be that many people who do that. Google painting restoration and narrow your search to location.
