Re: oil painting of the ocean crashing on the rocks
I have a very similar painting signed BERK. Ocean scene on rocks with same sky-rocks-and ocean colors as yours. Im searching info too.
Re: oil painting of the ocean crashing on the rocks
I've got one as well, wish I knew more about this artist!!
Re: oil painting of the ocean crashing on the rocks
Hi there,
I also have a painting similar to both of yours, signed V. Berk.
What I have found out is that he is a German artist, who sometimes signed G.(?) V. Berk.
If you do a Google search for 'oil canvas V. Berk' I think you'll see another painting of his on sale for $1,200.
I got mine at a thrift shop for $40!
Good luck.
Re: oil painting of the ocean crashing on the rocks
Sorry, I mistyped the message below.
He is also listed under F. V. Berk.
Hope this helps.
Re: oil painting of the ocean crashing on the rocks
These seascapes tend to be generic "Starving Artist" pieces sold at hotel conference centers and " Art on the Fence" traveling art shows. Generally the artists paint these pieces in multiples of the same scene for sale to Art wholesalers. In most cases values for them in the secondary market tend to be rather modest unless the Artist developed a following of collectors.
