Original Sunset Seascape Marine Painting

This item is an original oil or acrylic painting on what appears to be a stiff board or canvas panel. The composition features a wooden sailboat with a large central mast moored at a small dock, set against the backdrop of a vibrant orange and yellow sunset. The color palette is dominated by warm citrus tones in the sky and horizon, contrasted by the cool, dark grays and greens of the water in the foreground. In the mid-ground, a rocky jetty extends into the water. Significant detail is visible in the rendering of the boat's wooden hull and the rigging lines attached to the mast. The painting is signed in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Shirley' or a similar name, followed by the year '92,' suggesting it was created in 1992. The overall style is representative of late 20th-century amateur or decorative realism. Physically, the board shows some minor wear and rounding at the corners, with light scuffing along the edges where it likely sat in a frame. The brushwork reveals a textured application, particularly in the cloud formations and the waves breaking against the jetty. The work lacks a frame in the current image.
