We recently purchased a farm and in the attic found a painting from Avanté Studios, 330 South Delmare Ave, San Gabriel CA. It is of sun flowers with the classic 1960's color pallet. It has an orange tag stating it is hand painted on stretched canvas and is # 3960 and signed ADAMS. Any information on this painting would be greatly appreciated.

That dealer seems to be a mechanic now --

I can't find anything on the artist or painting. Maybe call or visit the reference desk at your public library and give them this info. They may be able to sleuth out if there is a value. It seems like artists like to copy master works (van Gogh's Sunflowers), and that might be what happened here.
