William Hoffman painting
I bought a painting by Mr Hoffman at an estate sale - clown dressed in white sitting on stool with cane and there is a clown face in background - can anyone tell me the year it was painted, if it has a name and it's value.

Western Picture Signed William Hoffman
My Picture is of about 6 horses and 6 Cowboys close to an old barn, looking like they are getting ready to go work the cattle. Do not know the name of this painting, does anyone else? How do I find out? Thanks!

found oil painting
I found an oil on canvas painting, signed in lower right side? Looks like WnHoffman and simalar to other signatures but not exact? If its a fake it is a beatiful fake. Whoever painted it is good! Beatiful Oil on Canvas of Mountains, looks like white ash! trees or upper mountains, streams or small lake, relections off the lake are fantastics. someone is very good at oil painting?

Clown Painting
It just says HoffMann and I can't figure out which Hoffmann artist it is.

Hoffman Seascape
Hi, I have a beautiful hoffman seascape that my mother in law commissioned William for when she lived in California, many years ago,at least 30 years if not more. I know that it has some value as she paid quite a bit for it back then, she loved collecting art and commissioned many local artyists from anywhere she travelled. I can not find anything with an insurance value and would love more info on the artist and the painting. My Mom in law is getting on in years and can't recall too much. She asked us to never part with it, and I plan on passing it down to my children. The painting looks like either No Cali or South. It is in a very ornate gold leaf frame (not my style but I do not want to make any changes to it). Anyhow, if anyone could give me some more history on it, I would appreciate it. I would love to give my girls some more info on it as well as making sure that I get the proper insurance value. Thank you!!

Hoffman
We had a cabin up from Hoffman. near Boulder Bay.
I used to play and hang out there with his sons in the late 60's.
I was in 3rd - 5th grade.

He had a big 2 story great view home on the point at the lake. I thought they were rich back then.

That is all I remember of my childhood. My dad still lives there at 81 years old.

I was a consultant for Ringling Bros. back in the 1980s. At my hotel was an art sale. I purchased a clown painting in a lovely frame by Mr. Hoffman for $25. The clown is playing a viola, and another clown is looking over his shoulder. I have no idea of the value, but I love the painting.

William (Bill) Hoffman
I first met Bill around 1966 when he lived in Woodland Hills, Ca. and was working for ASCAP and painting in his spare time. I owned a camera/hi-fi business in Woodland Hills and, one day, he brought in one of his paintings which I bought on the spot!
We became friends and I acquired another 6 of his works, seascapes as well as mountain themes. Around the time he moved to Big Bear, I sold my business and retired to Montana where I met his brother who was the local county assessor at that time. We enjoyed talking about Bill when we happened to meet. Bill was born very close to my birthplace but, by chance, we met in California.
His paintings that we have are greatly admired by our friends and visitors. I was saddened to learn of his death a few years ago; we were the same age.

William Hoffman
Bill was my neighbor in Big Bear Lake, CA. He was a full time residents there, I was a weekender.
All of the neighbors use to get together for barbecues on holidays weekends. Bill would always come and add to the festivities. He was a lot of fun. I have two of his paintings. His wife was an artist also.
