Need help identifying a painting

I bought this original oil painting at an estate sale today. Definitely not a canvas print, can see brush strokes and lots of texture on it. I'm wondering if it's based on another artist's painting? The signature says "Steward" I believe. I don't think they're famous - if they are, I don't know of them. But most importantly, I'm trying to figure out if this is based on an actual painting and what the name of that painting is.

Better view. Not sure why it uploaded the other two at an angle.

Still no solution. Hoping someone can at least chime in with something.

fake or fortune says that you can learn a lot from looking at the back...so are there any tags, words, labels,etc....otherwise google had nothing that matches...so need  some clues.....

The back is just canvas and nothing more. I'm basically trying to figure out if this is based on a real painting with an actual title, so if I re-sell it, I'll know what to title it. If it's not based on a painting by someone else, I'll just have to wing it and try to describe it with keywords.

It's not that we're ignoring you, it's just that no-one can find it.

This actually looks like what is referred to as a factory painting, where there are rows of copyist painters

churning these daily to be sold in supermarket parking lots across the country. Framed and ready to go for $59 ea, your choice. There is an expert on factory paintings that visits the boards every so often and maybe they will drop by and authenticate this.
