This is a close up of a (what appears to be a water color) painting I found in a thrift store. I was attracted to the old looking buildings and period dress of the woman on the dock. The signature (if there is one) must be covered in the framing. It was framed by a framing house in Tampa, Florida called Artistic Ways. When I called the phone number of the framing house, it was disconnected.
There is brown paper across the back of the picture, so in order to see the signature, I would have to remove the brown paper and remove the painting within the frame and matting. Hate to do that...
It kind of looks like a scene out of 1700 England??? Any ideas? Any input? Does anyone recognize this painting or have any idea where it is or what time period? I really would appreciate any input from anyone....

I've got very little art wisdom, but I really like it!
Have you tried a Google image search? Describe the painting in a few words and see what turns up in the search?
What a trip, we have this identical painting in our house and it is framed. It says at the bottom:
By The Wayside (Wayside is hard to read the first letter of it)
by E W Haselhust.
My husband was walking by me as I was reading your post and he said we have that same painting by our sliding glass door on the way to our backyard. He bought it before 1997 as he had it in his office then. He did not pay a lot for it. Let me know if you find out more about it and will be happy to send you a photo of ours with the name below it. It may glare as it has glass on the outside in the frame. Feel free to e-mail me:

I don't have any ideas or suggestions, but what a great picture! Maybe you could take this photo around to some of the art shops in your area, who might in turn have some ideas?
