Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an oil on canvas painting, depicting a rocky coastline, possibly the California Coast. The artist must have received some training but might have copied a photo. The signature reads "Merinda Younger", but unfortunately no artist with this name is listed in auction house records. There is a reference to a Merinda Younger who lived from 1906-1992 in California, but no other biographical data can be obtained. The estimate is based on similar paintings by lesser known artist actually sold at auction. There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the item.
