Oil Paintings
I like to paint. I've been doing it for a long time, About forty years give or take a year or so. All though I haven't had much formal school My mother, Betty Ann LoBello, who was an accomplished Portrait artist during the late 50s through out the 60s, taught and encouraged me to explore oil paints, as far back as I could remember. So inspired by my mom and the techniques of artist such as Salvador Dali, Roger Dean, Edward Hopper, Norman Rockwell, Andrew Wyeth Max Fleischer, R. Crumb and a few others.......This is where I get a lot of my inspiration from. Please feel free to browse around and let me know what you think.
Thank you

"Endless Population", is my statement about our over crowded planet
This oil painting measures 23''x29" painted in 1998
An impressionistic work
This is a favorite of many of my fans
"Meadow Skull" 10"x14" acrylic on canvas board painted in 1985
this surrealistic work has a little influence of Dali But was really
from some renascence medical journal illustration
This 10"x12" oil , I call "Blue Man", I'm not sure where the idea
came from but it is a totally spontaneous painting, the subject
was totally unplanned before I started.
"painted in 1995"
This one is newer and one of my favorite oil paintings, I call
"Fishhead"

but I had fun with it and It's one of my favorites. Oil on canvas measures 25"x37"
painted '2002'
This is Giant, an acrylic on canvas painted about '1995' measures 24"x20"
This playful some what surrealistic painting of a giant peeking in on the
normal people, or is he normal and the people are just really small?
"Lighthouse,"
I love to watch the waves crash to the shore. That was the inspiration
here. 18"x24" mixed media oil and acrylic painted on canvas
"Buoy No#5"
I think I was a bit inspired by some Japanese art I saw at an exhibit a few weeks
earlier all though it still has a lot of western culture
I was trying to capture the transparency of light and water .... This is an acrylic
on canvas and measures 24"x20"
and is now in the Gerald Gleason collection
"Ocean Voyage,"
I do a bit of sailing on lake Michigan with a good friend this is probably what
inspired this oil painting measures
19"x21" painted in 1998 '
would look great in a den
"Before the Storm"
There is a strange stillness
just before a heavy thunder storm I hope that I captured the erie feeling here.
