Hi All -
As it turns out...my sister's late father-in-law built all the original frames for Les. The Appleby family new him well and I had the privlege of visiting his Carmel studio as a teenager. I did come across a gentleman who would appraise his work and was recommended by
one of the Carmel galleries. Of course, now that I'm looking for the name - I can't find it!
I will continue to search and get back to you.

: I've recently inherited an original oil that
: my parents purchased some years ago, and
: would consider selling it. I phoned the
: Zantmann, New Masters, and Trotter
: Galleries, and Carmel Art Association, but
: nobody I've spoken with has any knowledge of
: Les Lambson's work. It had been in my
: parent's household for so many years, that
: it too was a staple of my upbringing. It has
: great sentimental value, but it's way too
: large to take with us to an anticipated
: move. Therefore, I'm considering selling the
: piece. Any leads on where I can get it
: appraised would be appreciated.

: I knew Les Lambson throughout my childhood
: in
: Carmel; his son was one of my best friends
: growing up, and we often helped him move
: stuff in and out of his studio in the
: downstairs of the house. He painted two
: oils for my parents, which they still have.
:
: Unfortunately, Les (who was a very
: charismatic individual) died tragically
: several years back. I don't find many of
: his oil paintings for sale on the internet,
: though I have seen a few for varying prices
: (one was $8,000; the other was $60,000). I
: know he was represented by a gallery in
: Carmel (Zantmann?)and sold a good number of
: oil paintings through the gallery in the
: early to late seventies. He had a
: fascinating life and was a very talented
: artist.

: I was a friend of Les 1n the 70s He painted
: a wonderfull painting for me that hangs in
: my livingroom. At the time he was selling
: his art for people he knew and private
: collectors.I had a restaurant in Campbell
: where he came quit often.Im sorry but Les
: Died a few years ago.
: He painted hundreds of paintings, some
: selling for 20 or 30 thousand dollars. They
: are hard to find on the market because they
: were mostly painted especially for people
: he knew. And we tend to keep them forever.

: Thank you Mrs. Schultz - We love Mr.
: Lambson's
: work and would like to purchase another
: piece, but all we can find are prints. We
: too have no idea of the value of our
: painting. Do you believe Mr. Lambson is
: still painting or has a studio in Carmel?
: We hope to find out more about him as our
: search continues. Thank you so much for the
: Carmel connection. That makes me think
: Robert Nidy may know him. Warmest regards.

: My wife and I were the winning bidders of a
