Seascape Oil Painting with Coastal Bonfire Figures

This is an original oil painting on canvas, likely contemporary in its execution, depicting a group of four figures gathered around a bonfire on a rocky beach at dusk or moonlit night. The composition features a dramatic, churning ocean with crashing whitecaps in the mid-ground and a luminous celestial body obscured by clouds in the upper sky. The color palette is dominated by deep blues, ochres, and warm oranges from the fire light. The figures include a seated man in a striped shirt, a standing woman wrapped in a blanket, and two other seated individuals, accompanied by bottles and gear. The application of paint shows visible brushwork and some impasto techniques to create texture in the ocean spray. The work is housed in a modern decorative frame with a black outer moulding and an ornate, beaded gold-tone inner fillet. The bottom right corner contains what appears to be a red artist signature or monogram, though the specific name is difficult to discern from this perspective. The condition appears to be very good with no visible craquelure, paint loss, or sagging issues, suggesting a relatively recent creation within the last 20 to 30 years. The overall craftsmanship indicates a skilled amateur or commercial gallery artist with an interest in narrative realism and coastal atmosphere.
