Another mirthful patron's bride phoned Carroll at 6:00AM on Christmas morning to tell him that at that moment her PGA Tour Champion husband was moving their home's furniture around the painting Carroll had made for her for a surprise to her superstar husband. Carroll does not advertise or promote such artwork.

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.

An oil company president, and art patron, showed his new Carroll to a billionaire Bass brother across the hall, who remarked,
"A friend of mine [in Highland Park, TX] just bought three."
It was Carroll's painting of a strong-willed calico cat titled,
"Soft Eyes" or "Catitude." It was about who you keep 1st.

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."

UNAPPRAISED & UNMEASURED ART PHILANTHROPY.
ONE SMALL STEP AFTER ANOTHER THEN, VOILÀ an ARTIST
whose art launched in Texas because of Navy frogmen who
overwatched our far side, at Luzon, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa,
aboard APD-78 and in cold, shark and snake infested waters
while shot at, showered with mortar, and kamikaze bombed!
IT'S AMAZING WHO CALLS ME and WHY! I answer my own phone.
Ron Anderson, MD, CEO at Parkland Health, treating 1 million patients-a-year, wanted Carroll's in every room and hall of the (33) thirty-three largest public hospitals in the United States of America.

A REFERRAL FROM A NASHVILLE HALL OF FAME MUSICIAN ----
Four-star General Tommy Franks, USA (Ret.) declared that Carroll's "therapeutic" Ode to Joy journals should be in every service member's, Veteran's, and each family member's hands worldwide. When I asked for a personal introduction to Former President George W. Bush, 15 minutes later GEN Franks called back, "Good to Go."

"I was 3 y/o when I began fundraising for people who needed help. It's an old habit that matured from individuals to proven charities.
I began by helping orphans. An orphan helped me - I was 43 y/o;
It was Don Fco. "Paco" Alcaraz in Madrid, Spain.
When I was 4½ y/o my sister died. I began drawing pictures in our Encyclopedia. I matured the way a sea wall weathers hurricanes.
I was 4 y/o when I began tennis lessons at the country club and started collecting and identifying butterflies and moths and making Riker mounts. I developed fine motor skills and surgical dexterity.
I was 5 y/o when I was a Junior Curator at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and saw artists renovate the bobcat diorama. Mom & Pop gave me a microscope and chemistry set. I was a fielder for the As and the Senators in Little League Baseball. At Connie Mack, I saw Casey Stengel, Yankees manager, step from the dugout and tip his hat to us. Later, I was a pitcher for the Red Birds.
"I was on cloud nine ... I'm gonna run to first base harder on base on balls ... I'm gonna score a run and beat your ass ..." - "Charlie Hustle," 17x All-star, 3x World Series, 4,256 career hits, 3,562 career games played, started for Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies.
When I was 6 y/o,
I mastered the lost art of composition with a '57 Brownie Starflash
and built models of naval ships and CV airplanes w/o instructions.
It was great preparation for starting a painting on a blank canvas -.
A puzzle with w/o instructions, unlimited pieces of unspecified size.
A masterful painter imbibes that thrill.
When I was 8 y/o,
our family moved to the historic Lutheran/German community of Chester Springs, PA, home of a resort spa, St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and other National Register Historic Places.
When I was 12 y/o,
I mastered drawing hands in 7th Grade at General Wayne JHS;
My teacher, Miss Kathie Dugas showed me Albrecht Dürer's
pen-and-ink drawings and watercolours to guide me.
That was when I learned to read what matters -
Posture, hands, eyes, ... and causative insight.
Steve "Pre" Prefontaine was coached by the co-founder of Nike.
The artist Carroll ran through 13 pairs of Waffle Trainers each year
when he lived in SE Pennsylvania and Newark, DE, he used to run 95 sub-six miles in five days each week and got smoked by the St. Joe's and Villanova guys; Carroll wore Nike flats when under Sr. Alcaraz' tutelage as a painter in Spain in 1994. "I have a photo to prove it."
He played varsity tennis, ran pretty fast (PB 4:08, 8:56, 31:57), but excelled racing his track bicycle the fastest of them all.
When I was 43 y/o, an artist was born.
A BRAZILIAN ARISTOCRAT MADE IT HAPPEN TO ME!
"I'm 'Muy excitado.' My paintings stir your heart to action.
I've been a fulltime watercolor artist since 07.04.94.
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.
MY "BACKYARD" ART/SCIENCE CLASSROOM
✔ I lived with a brilliant mom, famous dad, Ivy Leaguers,
doctors, researchers, professors, generals, admirals, ...
front line dinner table talk and silent scholarly pursuits,
I went to a small private school, Gustavus Adolphus College,
GAC, in St. Peter, Minnesota and enjoyed many summers at
Island Lake, near Brainerd, MN. I was a Principal Investigator
in Limnology and Ecology at ANSP under Dr. Jim Peterson, later
GAC's president. His boss, Dr. Patrick, was my dad's patient.
Dr. Ruth Patrick was an environmental consultant to two sitting Presidents of the United States of America, guiding the new EPA.

berry patch, black walnut trees, native snow Crocuses,
I've traveled to 44 States and 7 or 8 other countries, ...
a platinum spoon childhood shaped my artistic tastes.
