Sample signature of SF Bay Area painter Mike Henderson?

I have a painting signed "Henderson '02" with an Atherton Gallery label on the back. It is an abstract/impressionist painting, 48x60 inches, signed "Henderson '02" on the front, with a lighthouse in the upper right background and some plants in the lower foreground, and is an oil painting in greyish green (could be a lighthouse on a hill). I'm not sure, but it could perhaps be by San Francisco Bay Area painter Mike Henderson?

I think you have an original. The librarian at the public library has a reference book with the paintings and signatures..

The Repulse Bay – A charming retreat on the beach

When travelling to the heavily urbanized city of Hong Kong, travellers can take a refreshing break in an extremely scenic location known as Repulse Bay. While its name stems from the British colonial days of a battle against pirates who were subsequently ‘repulsed’ from Hong Kong at the conclusion of the battle, little of this past can be seen today. With golden beaches and pristine azure water it is hard to not be tempted by this charming and invigorating locale.

Swimming in the bay is allowed and is frequently indulged in by many. Other activities that grace Repulse Bay include jogging or playing sports on the beach or simply relaxing and taking in the view. The area’s cool waters range from 16 to 26 degrees making delving beneath the waves an ideal option for escaping the heat.

A lighthouse on the beach is a popular area with tourists for taking pictures of both its architecture as well as impressive landscape and shots of the surrounding area. The view from the beach is also quite spectacular with the immense and expansive horizon stretching out in the distance across the water while gazing in the opposite direction presents a sprawling city landscape.

Being a prominent area in Hong Kong Repulse Bay also features many cafes and restaurants especially in the Repulse Bay Shopping Plaza. A noteworthy area is the The Zhenhai Tower Park which was constructed utilizing a traditional Chinese style. The two major points of interest are the grand statues of both the God of Mercy and the Queen of Heaven which stand at its entrance.

Repulse Bay’s combination of the beach and other attractions ensures that there is plenty to keep travellers occupied. When choosing a hotel in Hong Kong for your stay travellers will be presented with a range of options such as Hotel Jen. This Hong Kong Island hotel presents an ideally located accommodation option that allows easy access to various destinations in the city.
