Description

I recently purchased this painting at an estate sale and am trying to learn more about it. There is an artists signature in the BR corner but I am unable to make it out. I looks to begin with an "M". The painting is 8 x 10 and looks to have been restreched onto a new frame at some point. It was listed as a "Beach Camping Scene" but looks more like a wreck or smaller boat coming ashore with gear. Hoping someone might be able to pick something out that my untrained eye can't see.
