This well-known and well-respected artist lived and worked on his ranch in McAllister, Montana, just 70 miles from Yellowstone. Zabel started his career by earning a degree in art from Long Beach State, then spent a year studying art at Mexico City College.Larry went to work for Douglas Aircraft Corp in Oklahoma and California as an illustrator and writer, and later for the Genge Corp., eventually moving to a Civil Service position at the China Lake Naval Weapons Test Facility as Director of Technical Information. During those years he continued to paint. He was sent to Vietnam several times to film the use of Naval weapons and to gain reference material to produce a series of combat art paintings for the Navy, which can be seen at the Naval Archives Center in Washington D.C. After completing his 20 years of government service, he decided to retire and pursue another career as a western "cowboy" artist. In 1988, Larry and his wife Sharon moved to Montana. "Montana has the things that I fantasize about... cowboys, Indians, and grizzly bears", says Zabel. The subjects of his works include a wide variety of wildlife native to Montana, but his earlier paintings focused on cowboys and Indians. Zabel strove for accurate portrayals, and was most satisfied when the viewer recognized his canyons, ranches, and animals. Larry Zabel's art, prints and posters have earned him numerous awards including Best Painting at the Charlie Russel Auction Show and Artist of the Year at the Southern Maryland Wildlife Festival. He was chosen as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts and has shown his art, prints and posters in such prestigious places as the Salmagundi Club, the Hollyhock House, the White House, the Smithsonian, the Pentagon, and the office of Senator Conrad Burns in Washington D.C.
