"Some folks call me 'The Wordsmith with a Paintbrush.'
My 'walkabout' began with my sister's death. I had a tough time dealing with it and finding myself. My parents stayed together, somehow. It took me decades to locate the missing pieces of the family puzzle. Along the way, I caught momentary glimpses of my true self on distant mountain passes. I put my other desires on hold until I finally resolved the conundrum of the Burgoon's.
By that time Climate Change was a hot topic and my dormant interest in Mayflies and Caddis was fanned to flaming passion.
Once again turning over rocks to see what was there and hours at a stereomicroscope were captivating and exhilarating! When I was a teenager, the aquatic insects in Pigeon Run coursing our woods and meadows galvanized my attention for hours.
Being an artist/painter didn't enter my mind. I was having fun."

Carroll painted son and daughter playing beside a park waterfall for a Big Pharma heiress; And he rendered the plantation mansion of a Booze King with the family puppy greeting friends. A Fort Worth scene went to a Cornhusker cattleman; A barnyard cat in a San Antonio garden went to an oil company president, and the dockside chef's cat at the century-old Club de Yates de Río de Janeiro helped put New Mexico's orphans in loving homes. He was in movie theaters and the evening news a few times.

EVER HEAR OF BURGUNDY, FRANCE?
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The Burgoons are the Burguns from Burgundy France, and were until our cordwainer patriarch, Jean Jacques Burgun, anglicized our family name (in 1740) while aboard Lydia sailing to Baltimore, MD in the Colonies. (See P. 91??? Ellis Island records.) He settled next to Charles Carroll of Carrollton, last living Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Burgoons were probably from the feisty, combative
Burgundiōnes who kicked butt all over Europe starting in ca. 249 AD when they returned to the mainland from Burgundarholmr Is. The Kingdom of the Burgundians became part of France; others joined Attila's Hun army, or shrank into a Swiss chalet. I'm here because 130 "Rock Happy" UDT-14 frogmen (Navy SEALs) kept my dad alive on USS Bull APD-78. Bravo Zulu. Friends call me, 'Lobster.' Nah. I'm just a "Rock Happy Yankee," a farm boy, BUT, not a USN SEAL.

- Imagine!
When I was 4½ y/o my older sister died. There was no funeraI, her remains were abandoned, and she was never mentioned again as if she had never lived. Virtually all evidence was removed. She was forgotten, kind of like an invisible undertow. So, I matured the way a sea wall weathers hurricanes. I had a lot of questions without the right words to begin. I began drawing meticulously. Thus, I became a self-taught artist, a wordsmith, and today, the paintbrush poet.

Elena Braga Pereira da Cunha of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
made the arrangements for me to study under Paco Alcaraz.
She was from a very powerful and influential Colonial family,
went to school in England, and was fluent in five languages.
Her brother was liaison for a soccer club founded in 1895.
Their granddad co-founded Clube de Regatas do Flamengo
for Rio's young socialite men and ladies; His full statue
greets players and visitors to the team clubhouse.
Elena loved fine art and traveled as it pleased.
That's how she befriended D. Fco. Alcaraz.
They met in lovely Montmartre, Paris.
She must be 80 to 90 y/o now.
Her sexy daughter left me
for another fellow.
