"Mr. Lambson" was my art/crafts instructor in high school (San Jose 1967-1968)He was a true Renaissance Man who taught me to throw pots and built a potters wheel for me.He was a true free spirit who would occasionally lecture his art class on his philosophy about the state of the world.This always brought him nose to nose with the administration.Sadly, I lost contact with him after college and never acquired any of his artwork.How did he die and when?

: the first thing I see when I wake up. I am
: looking to get information on it so I can
: get it insured properly. Everyone input has
: been very helpful!

: Thank you Mr. MacAllister for the kind
: reply.
: I am saddened to hear of Mr. Lambson's
: passing. We felt so strongly about the
: painting that we designed our interior
: colors around it. It is the centerpiece of
: our home and is one of the most beautiful,
: understated paintings of nature we have ever
: seen. We are very lucky. Thank you for
: helping us feel a litle more connected to
: the artist. Warmest regards,

: 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.
