Where/Who/What is this? Mysterious painting.

I found this watercolor at a garage sale the other day for $1, but I'm curious about its history. The lady who sold it to me had no idea what it was, she found it behind another painting in her house. It has no writing on the front or back also. If any of you know about the painting, the house, or the man in the photo, please let me know. Thanks!

*Very* interesting.  Could there be a signature in the bottom right hand corner, under the frame?  Do you have another photo from a different angle?  For some reason it looks familiar to me.  My husband's parents and grandparents lived in Coronado from the 30's.

I bought the painting and the frame separate, so I looked all over the paper and I couldn't find any writing.

So where was the garage sale?  Was the painting in that house for a while, or did it come from somewhere else? I'm really curious, if you can't tell!

If only the former Coronado School of Fine Arts were still extant.  The director, Monty Lewis, might well have known.
