      I also have a Carlson painting and I was told it was my great grandparents and I am also running into this problem I have looked every where on information on this painting my painting has two ships on it. I am astounded that I actually found one. I contacted an art appraiser and he said this was a "HIGH END" painting and that I would not get any buyers in this area. I need help please the size of this painting is 371/4" x 371/4"

      I WISH I could help you!! I am as stuck as you. I did learn from you that it is high end though lol. I cant even get an appraiser here to look at it without paying atleast $50!!! There is one on rubylane, a smaller version but that seller didnt know anything either but had it marked at 100. Didnt even know if it was a male or female. I have literally given up. Its wrapped safely and put away since it has frustrated me to no end!!
    3. shannon77, 12 years ago
      Well I found an on-line appraiser who you email the pictures to and he will tell you the value and even sell it if you would like. I will give you the email address as soon as he responds I cant find it again and I understand about frustration I really really doI think its odd that no one knows of him and you cant find it anywhere, that has got to mean something, right?

      I know!! Every Carlson painting has a first initial. I know they are OLD its been in my family for years!!! Just like I have a pair of womens 550 levis with a black tab. Cant find nothing except a pair of 505s with a black tab. Doesnt help that I get frustrated easily tho lol. Ok, ill wait on the email. Thanks!

      I have an oil painting with the same signature. It is a farm print that is mostly orange, yellow and browns. It is a large framed oil painting at 37 X 31 inches. I have had it for over 20 years and tried to research this painter over the years. Yours is the first painting I have found with the same signature. I live in the Nashville area and purchased it here during college. I would love to know the history behind the painter.
    6. secondchancesofwisconsin secondchancesofwisconsin, 12 years ago
      I would also love to know more about the painter but I am lost lol. I cant get anywhere online and the appraisers here wont touch anything without being paid. I know its vintage and the pieces are rare. I just wrapped mine up nicely and put it up until I can get more info. I am a single mom so I cannot afford to pay an appraiser. Good Luck!!
    7. shannon77, 12 years ago
      well I have a man that is interested in mine and he contacted a friend that works in an art museum to get information on it I promise as soon as I find something out I will let yall know. My painting is of two ships in the sea, CARLSON is signed on the lower left hand side and Is 371/4" x 371/4".
    8. secondchancesofwisconsin secondchancesofwisconsin, 12 years ago
      THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine is wrapped up so I dont know the exact measurements but its BIG lol. Not sure if you can tell in the pics or not. I really appreciate it girl!!! I have been working on this for 8 months now and have just given up. Yeah sounds like he did a lot of ship pics from what I can tell. Mine is available if he wants it too hehehehehe, hey never hurts to mention it. My email is my name at yahoo if you want to get ahold of me easier.

      I have a Carlson painting myself as well. Exactly the one that is in the picture above. Does anyone know a price value on the painting or know of any interested buyers? Thanks.

      I have this exact same painting. I have found several artists with the name Carlson, but all have initials and are not the same Carlson, anyway, based on the signature. There are a couple for of the paintings on sale on eBay, all listed at low prices and none has info about the artist. I am in MI and the paintings for sale were in CA and one down south somewhere, so whoever this is, the paintings have floated around the country.

      Anyone have an update on who it is?
    14. tandybear tandybear, 11 years ago
      Just put your pic side-by-side with my own. they are the same artist, but slightly different, and mine is signed on the left and yours is on the right. The seem to be done by the same person, though
    15. tandybear tandybear, 11 years ago
      sorry, Mine is signed on the right, yours is on the left.
    16. Belindas0077 Belindas0077, 10 years ago
      Is there any update on this painting? I have the exact painting. Just aquired it 5 months ago and was wondering about it. Thank you. my email is belindas0077@gmail.com

      I have one of these paintings also . Mine is two ships with orange and brown tones. It is large and has the same signature. I live in New York so these paintings get around. I have no information on the artist but would be interested to find something out.

      Hi
      I have a CARLSON sailboat painting also. It's huge. Years ago someone told me that he was a Santa Barbara artist that specialized in these huge painting of sailboats. I was told he painted mostly in the 1960's & 1970's. I don't know if the person who told me this is correct but I think he was.

      i have the same painting i was thinking of selling it but i have no knowledge on the artist now that i see so many people have paintings from this guy i'm keeping it.
    20. tomanycats, 10 years ago
      I also have a CARLSON painting signed on the lower left hand corner. It's a 4' X 3' image of a old ship with several seagulls flying around the ship. Who is CARLSON? What is this Painting worth?
    21. Toomanydogs, 10 years ago
      If these paintings are from the sixties and seventies then someone must know something about them! They seem to have been fairly popular.
    22. akheritage, 9 years ago
      I have a 3'3"x3'3" carlson also. It signed bottom left oranges and browns and creams. Two ships, side by side with white water in between, one large ship and one just a little smaller. Have no idea what its worth.
    23. Heathero, 9 years ago
      Hi! I was curious if anyone has found any information as to what this is worth. I just bought the exact painting as pictured above, even the frame is the same!! I bout it at a yard sale. I LoVE the painting but am very intrigued wondering if anyone has any information on it. Thanks

      Make me go ohh, aha. Very pretty to me. Thanks for posting it.:)

      Keep in mind we do not offer appraisals, and as it says above 'comments must be free of solicitations to buy or sell.
      Sounds as if this particular print is very popular.
    26. Dane2, 9 years ago
      I just realized the painting that use to hang in my granfather's house and now in mine is signed by T. Carlson. How can I find more info on it?
    27. Starwars, 8 years ago

      I have a painting signed T Carlson to make things stranger it is a native american girl oil painting original it is absolutely beautiful everytime i do a google search it returns very religious high end paintinga by Michelangelo and the related artists. I am shockex I cannot find this artist anywhere!!!! It looks just like Emil Carlsen from the kate 1800s & the signature is similar her E looks like a T but she usually spells out her whole name.
      Thanks,
