Featured Old painting on thick wood

I was hoping someone can identify this Alken painting, oil on wood.

Thank You

 

No clue but I like it.

 

Looks like Cannery Row (of Steinbeck fame) in Monterey, CA.

Debora

 

YES! DOES! Been there!

 

Done that?

Debora

 

Yes!
Or......done there....been that....

 

very cool, now who could it be, wish someone can help

 

Reminescent of Henry Aiken Vincent's work. Wonder if not "homage."

Debora

 

wow, nice find Debora. So it's not by Alken or is mine Aiken also ?

 

Certainly doesn't appear that works by same artist. Henry Aiken Vincent the better painter and he signed his works "Vincent." Also, from technique, yours dates to several decades later. Wonder if perhaps it's not a 1960s decorative piece inspired by Vincent's scenes of Gloucester Harbor.

Oh okay, Thanks Debora

 

Billy's definitely reminds me of some of the inner parts of the harbor of Gloucester, MA. 40+ years ago, of course.

 

cool thanks..

 

The ONLY time I ever saw THAT MUCH coating on a "painting" was when I was transferring a print onto either canvas or wood......you had to heavily coat the print first.....then soak it in a tub......then peel the backing off.....the print had transferred to the coating....which then could be applied to the wood or canvas.....it was a fun thing I tried MANY years ago...a few times....then lost interest. Way too much work!!!!! BUT the large thick strokes of a coating quickly brought back that memory......and I could totally be WAY off base!!!!

 

mine is an oil painting, I have eye loupes to make sure there are no pixels showing.

 

That's ALL GOOD THEN Billy!!!!!
