"Mr. Wiest," as I knew him, was my art teacher at University School and University High School in Laramie, WY. My sister now has a painting of his that belonged to my parents. It's much more realistic than most of Wiest's work -- an autumn aspen grove. Wiest was well-known in Wyoming as an artist. I don't believe that he is still living, though his second wife, Betsy Wiest, who taught in the Univ. of Wyoming nursing college, might be contacted through that college. One thing you might do is contact the Univ. of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie. I would expect that they have some of Wiest's works in the museum collection and would be able to help you with figuring out the value. Don't give it to Goodwill until you check with someone at the U of Wyo or in the Laramie area -- the painting would be worth more in Wyoming, I imagine.<BR/><BR/>Christine Davis Inkster<BR/>formerly of Laramie, now living in St. Cloud, MNChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555913779367914100noreply@blogger.com
