H.v. Hoek (Hans Van Hoek 1947-present) is definitely a keeper. He doesn't bring a lot of money at this time, but he is moderately well known and quality maritime oils on canvas have a good history of appreciation. I was unable to find a bio on him.

I searched Google and found Hoek, H.V., oil on canvas, "Flying Cloud" (Estimate: $150 - $350)

I Also have a H.V. Hoek 5 Geese Taking Off Over A Pond
That Flying Cloud was reproduced often. You have to have someone qualified check for authenticity.

There are 2 H. V. Hoek's. one born in 1926 in Enschede, Holland and the other in 1947

Here are a couple others found while searching.
