At least one site erroneously attributes this painting to John Benjamin Taylor. I say "erroneously".... I am almost 100% positive that is a mistake, arising from the fact that one, if not the first, image of this painting was posted on line on a site titled J.B. Taylor (http://jbtaylor.typepad.com/jb_taylor/2011/04/index.html). There is a website for Canadian artist John Benjamin Taylor, but he paints mostly landscapes, none of which in any way appear similar this seascape or from the same hand: http://www.jbtaylor.ca/index.html. If you know otherwise, please post any relevant information and links here. [sh]
