Edward Lambert - Artist

Edward Lambert is no longer with us, but a number of his paintings remain both in private collections and in on-line galleries. 

Giclee prints of selected works are for sale.
A Hudson Valley based artist, Ed did not sell his paintings and stopped showing his work long ago. 
An independent thinker, he painted for himself and cared little or nothing about what anyone thought of his work. Friends and family members were often stunned when he handed them an original they so admired.
Ed wrote the following about himself in 1994, when he and his wife, Carol, were living aboard their sailboat, The Georgia O’Keeffe.  He was trying to establish a mural painting business and wrote this short biography. 
“I do only hand painting (no airbrush) and could complete a quality mural about 100 sq. ft. in 200 hours.  Any subject; from African plains and Roman gardens, to shuttle blast offs can be painted on most surfaces. I can work closely with the designer or your client to enhance the mood they are trying to create.
Problem areas can be brightened and small areas can be given infinite space. I can paint any subject, in the style of any artist, and will do museum quality work when budgets allow.
Also, please consider me for commissioned oil paintings, sculpture, small fountains or dioramas.  Scaffolding (if required), and materials on large projects, site access hours, or major surface preparation can effect costs, but I will give you an exact quote in most cases.
Enclosed please find a news photo of my recently completed mural for the downtown merchants Civic Association. This was a rush job; done without benefit of research and sketching, and was painted on roofing plywood in about 80 hours (96 sq. ft.) to meet a deadline.
Sincerely,
Edward D. Lambert"
As you can see, by virtue of the pictures shown in this blog, Edward was a capable realist who preferred surrealism.  
His paintings are colorful, evocative, and have a story to tell.
