: Good to hear from you, too, Norm. Firstly,
: were you able to copy/paste the 3 links and
: open them up using InternetExplorer? If so,
: then, it would seem the most convenient way
: for each of us to take digital shots of our
: pieces and save them to a public storage
: server or private website. The cheapest
: (aka: FREE) such public storage server is
: ImageShack.com and set up an account.
: Regardless of whatever storage server is
: used, it would probably be a lot easier
: rather than for everyone to drag their
: respective paintings off the walls and
: transport. Considering some of the
: potential prices I've seen bantied about,
: security could be a real problem! And, it
: would seem that if we could all post links,
: that it might make Mr. Kennedy's job easier,
: too? Assuming, of course, he ever sees this
: thread!! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all
: for a good party...lol.
:
: Cheers...

: Nice to hear from you Craig. Since my
: original post in March, I can only say that
: the thread has a life of it's own now, and I
: think Les would be proud of the legacy he
: left behind. I can also say that Mr.
: Lambson sold his art to some of the finest
: people around. It has been a pleasure and
: honor to read about the little pieces of Mr.
: Lambson's life. Maybe we should all get
: together and have a toast to Les and bring
: our paintings to share. We're in Central
: California, but I would drive to the Bay
: Area or LA for a get together. Where's
: everyone located?? And yes, Mr Kennedy
: would be an interesting attendee. Warmest
: regards,

: Ladies & Gentlemen,
:
: While searching the Net for unrelated art,
: what a surprise to stumble upon this thread.
: I, too, have been searching in vain for
: information on Mr. Lambson and to find such
: an active "current" thread about
: his works is truly a gem of a find. As
: such, I would like to share with you what
: little bio information I have on Mr. Lambson
: as well as provide you all with a couple of
: examples of his original oils I currently
: have the priviledge to own. These exhibits
: are veiwable by copy/paste of the following
: links.

: LESLIE LAMBSON BIOGRAPY (This little bio
: accompanied the receipts for the paints.)

: As Mr. Lambson often intimated, it is up to
: the eye of beholder to interpret what they
: see. But, as for the Blue/Tan painting, I
: cannot help but see a striking similarity of
: the remenants of the WTC after the 9/11
: attack! I charish this painting, but it now
: haunts me every time I view it and forces me
: "...never forget!". An absolutely
: amazing painting for its time AND today!
:
: Our family originally acquired them from a
: small studio, Master's International, in
: Campbell, California back in April 1972.
: They each cost $200 at the time. Lord knows
: what they're worth today!
:
: SUGGESTION: I wonder if Jack Kennedy would
: consider an "Appraisal Session En
: Mass" if we all could bring our
: collections together in one place...LOL?
:
: But, baring that, has anyone yet actually
: found Mr. Kennedy and his whereabouts?

: Cheers,

: Thanks Patti,
: I called some galleries and have made
: contact with a person named Jack Kennedy,
: who agreed to appraise the piece. Is this
: the referene you were looking for? He
: suggested I check out the frame for a title
: or number, which I will do over the next
: couple days, then move forward on the
: appraisal.

: 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
: beautiful Les Lambson original oil at a
: charity auction. We aren't having a lot of
: luck finding out his history. Any
: suggestions? Thanks in advance.
