2 Oil Paintings-Nautical-Scenic

Description

2 oil paintings----The first painting is wood on wood , nautical , the backing is 1/8 inches thick and is tapered a little larger as it reaches the painting, painted gold .   The painting itself is 4 3/4 x 8 3/4 and is 1/4 inches thick , the edges are painted in gold.    I assume the two are glued together but may be one piece of wood , not sure.   The painting has a small piece of wood missing on the lower right edge, also some paint missing sporadically , mostly on the hill to the left side .      The painting is nautical , with what appears to be sailing ships , sea gulls and the moon rising over the horizon.          The back has pencil writing, hard to make out , with five lines  .   The third line has what appears to be " August 1887 " , and the fifth line appears to be  " Eastman ".   I am not sure , sometimes you see what you want.              The second painting is on canvas , about 6 x 10 1/4 , missing some paint about one inch from the bottom , right in the middle , no date or writing .   ------------------As far as I know, they are unrelated.     Please write with any questions.
