Oils, yes (see link below to one in Philadelphia) - scenery, I don't think so, I don't know of any.
If there are any, then yes, I would imagine they would be worth quite a lot as most of his works are.

What is a painting worth? If you own a painting that you like or love, that conveys some emotional meaning to you, that makes you think or feel good when you look at it them the art work is priceless to you as the owner and collector. It really shouldn't make any difference if the artist is known or not. Many great artists were not well known, nor did their work command great prices, during their lifetime. But to answer your question specifically, this painting has the look and feel of one of those mass-produced paintings that come out of Europe or Mexico that are sold as fine art in mass lots at 'art sales' across the country. You know the type - 'Original Art, All Under $39.00, At The Local Redtop Inn, This Weekend Only.' Or you see them sold on street corners, in large cities, in front of service stations. I may be wrong, but probably not. This does not mean that a mass-produced painting wasn't done by some artist that later became famous or highly collectible. But I know of none that have received recognition this way. The point is, if you really like this painting, and the others you have, then that should be all that matters. The true value of art is what the owner and collector put on it from their own personal viewpoint. I have paintings, etchings and drawings by at least a dozen or so 'unknown' artists that are valuable to me because the works means something personally to me.
