Larry Fanning

Larry Fanning (1938 - 2014) was active/lived in Colorado, California.  Larry Fanning is known for Wildlife in landscape and cowboy genre painting.

Known for large wildlife such as buffalo and antelope in landscape as well as western scenes with cowboys, Larry Fanning, began his art career as a commercial illustrator. He says he was born knowing that he wanted to be an artist, but for many years submerged his unique creativity in fine art for his illustration work.

Fanning was born in Kansas where he was raised in Wichita.  As a young man, he was a competitive wrestler, becoming Kansas State Champion in high school, which earned him a wrestling scholarship to Kansas State University.  He studied some liberal arts but took no formal art classes.

Then he moved to Santa Monica, California where he took a job in the public relations unit of Boeing Aircraft.   Of this he said:  "My art talent was used to try and sell bombers to the Air Force."  He also did commission work for Hallmark Cards and Mattel Toys, and for two years, had a call-in radio show.
