The Artist Carroll™

"I never went to art school. I'm self-taught,

an artist merging old and new art the old-fashioned way, using sable paintbrushes.

A UNIQUE HISTORY

"A global business owner apprised me,

'This [Carroll] will hang between my 2 Picassos and a Chagall on my ranch.' You should have watched him giddily bidding against himself, as if it was Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi. Welcome aboard.

"I have been to Portugal, Brazil, Spain,

plus, four other countries, including

44 states in U.S.A.

"A blue-blood Brazilian heiress arranged my painting studies with famed Spaniard, Alcaraz. A woman redecorated her office around 40+ of my originals and brought the bride of her #1 client to see the collection; Her guest bought my art!!! as did a PGA, Open champion's bride and Big Pharma heiress. A Quarter horse-loving petroleum heiress, married to a Hall of Fame cowboy and NFL player, had paid my way to study under the master Sr. Alcaraz in Europe with the proviso that she be allowed first dibs when I returned. Granted.

No time-wasting and high-pressure tactics.

"A Texas House Representative wanted me to be the State Artist Laureate. But I didn't keep track of the 50+ news features, 500+ keynotes my first year back in Texas, quietly gave 5,000 signed Arkansas prints to DFW hospital patients and didn't sell via art galleries or exhibit my exotic art.

FITNESS/SPORTS INFLUENCE

"I've been a Little League Baseball fielder, NRA Bar 2 Sharpshooter, game warden certified Safe Hunter, played Varsity tennis (Haverford College's Hall of Fame tennis/squash coach taught me a see it once-learning strategy), a wrestler, rode side horse, belted in martial arts, was a sprint cyclist with an RHR 28 and VO2 max 75 and alternate to Nationals as a newbie racer, canoeist, backpacker, assistant SCUBA instructor, a 4:08-mile and 31:57 10k runner - 20 yrs of sub-sixes at 80% effort and ladders on the track - When bicycle sprinting, I toed the line trusting another victory. Today I paint very, very fast with the same confidence.

As of 2026, I took up watercolor 32 years ago, endured a couple of divorces, and stuck with diet consciousness and 10k running fitness, now, power walking.

All of this cultivated discipline, staying power and insight as an artist.

"The idea that the harder you work,

the better you’re going to be is just garbage. The greatest improvement

is made by the man or woman who

works most intelligently".

- Bill Bowerman, University of Oregon Track & Field Head Coach, Co-founder, Nike. Carroll wore thirteen pairs of Waffle Racers annually changing to a new pair every 250 miles and wore Nikes in Spain when he studied with the celebrated international artist Alcaraz (See top photo).

Carroll's 1st running shoes were Onitsuka Tigers.

ART-RELATED LAGNIAPPE

"I'll always remember the experience of

Dr. Barnes, PhD, MD home and seeing his world class, cherry-picked art collection.

I'll always remember a field trip to Bowman's Hill as a 5 y/o Junior Curator at The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel (Originally, of Philadelphia), where I became a Limnology & Ecology Division published Principal Investigator on environmental impact statements (EIS) for British Petroleum, Scott Paper, P&G, Potomac Electric and water supplier, Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission (WSSC). DuPont offered me a job and a PhD; I declined their offer.

"I quit a Master's (Entomology) at UGA,

a PhD (Ecology) at UDEL, and two MBAs (With class-leading A's) in north Texas.

"[America's #1 boardroom consultant] She referred me to you and that can only mean one thing, you must be

[super, super] good".

- Medical conglomerate president.

"I founded a boutique marketing firm in Texas serving Urologists, Oncologists, Dermatologists, Orthopods, Ob/Gyns,

... and an assortment of biz owners.

"The President of the United States sent me a salutary note after I received Toastmasters 'Rookie of the Year' in its

large and world #1-ranked district.

Who'd have guessed he was watching!

"Art taught me to see, not just look.
私は、他人が見えないものを見ている。

"My #1 watercolorist is Winslow Homer,

and #2 is John Singer Sargent.

My favorite color is Winsor Red, followed by Cerulean Blue and Forest Green.

"I've petted a nesting dove in the wild,

a snarly German shepherd, caged Bengal tigers, a black panther, and a bobcat.

I have "Good bedside manner."

"Arts patron Kitsy Westmoreland had her son take her picture with me at a black tie aboard the Queen Mary, amidst 40 MOHs, where a Knight Commander, Knights of Malta, who reported to the Pope, invited me to join his cadre of Americans Reagan and Carter, Soviet/Russian Gorbachev and some South American presidents in his priory ... My WC art attracted world leaders and other influential men and women."

"Otra vez". "Again". (He said)

- Don Fco. "Paco" Alcaraz

Carroll's favorite film is Miracle (2004, produced by Mark Ciardi, et al. Another mentor was Ciardi's Brewers pitcher sinker-slider teammate.)

"I was named in homage to our Carroll County next door neighbor, a signer of the Declaration of Independence (1776) - We sailed across the Atlantic on the Lydia from Burgundy, France - where Arches® Aquarelle, my favorite Bright White Cold Press is made. Our patriarch boarded the tall ship as Johannes Jacques Burgund and got off as John Jacob Burgoon in Baltimore, MD in 1740. One son enlisted under General George Washington.

Washington encamped his Army on Rebel Hill, on the hillside where we lived, on his march to overwinter at Valley Forge.

My kin buck boarded into Tarrant County, Texas in1850, 14 years after the Alamo.

"Lock, stock and barrel, I'm leaving

north Texas after 42 years".

"YHWH made me for a purpose - and He made me very fit and fast".
