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.
Good things just happen!

"I want to have one of my baseball or cattle ranch sketches on a wine bottle label. Miró, Chagall, Dalí, Picasso and the Prince of Wales each did a label for Rothschild. Oooh! And, a fly fishing long sleeve shirt for each of your avid trout-hunting buddies."
FAMILY ANCESTRY 🡇🡇🡇
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. Maybe that's why friends call me a large malacostracan, "Lobster." (SEE Wiki).

It was a self-portrait."
ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER UNTIL - VOILÀ an ARTIST!
"When I was 4½ y/o my older sister died. I matured the way a sea wall weathers hurricanes. My two doctor parents took us vacationing at four-star locations. They loved Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort so much that we bought some condominiums, a car, and traveled there First Rate year around. I've enjoyed the natural sciences since I was a Junior Curator at the Western Hemisphere's oldest natural history museum established by socialites, business leaders, and scientists in 1812. People came from around the world to be seen by my dad. Medical residents wanted to learn to do what he did. He drove a red sports car smoking a meerschaum pipe a Persian doctor sent him. Pop was a 440-speedster and Harrisburg front page running back. The heiress of the German-born immigrant who built New York's Brooklyn Bridge built a specialty hospital in Philadelphia, PA for my dad. He made it the perennial #1 globally. Dad was lauded as 'The Doctor's Doctor.' Mom and Pop did mumps research with the Tlingit and Haida in Southeast Alaska. DYK, I began collecting and mounting butterflies as a five y/o. We often visited Audubon's home and hiked the rugged trails above the Perkiomen Creek. I learned craftsmanship living with real Chippendales, Hepplewhite, Sheratons, Paul Revere silver, early American tall case clocks, old, hand-knotted Persian rugs, ... Audubon Dbl Elephant leaves, and Peterson Field Guides. My mom was a cat-loving ΦΒΚ that loved her childhood buckskin horse. Her doctor dad died when she was 10 y/o. My folks were avid collectors, perpetual students, and voracious readers.
I began drawing using the pictures I saw in our Encyclopedia.
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 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.
When I was 6 y/o,
I mastered the lost art of composition with a '57 Brownie Starflash.
I built models of naval vessels and airplanes w/o instructions.
When I was 8 y/o,
I learned to drive a big, red Farmall Super H. One year later, I drove a Ferguson tractor rotary mowing fields eight-hours a day. That was about the last time I saw my best friend since we'd moved way out into the boonies. He was our veterinarian's son and went to MIT to study optical physics when he was 10 y/o. He was our LLB catcher.
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.
At 60 lbs., I was a 75 lbs wt. class wrestler.
When I was 21 y/o,
I was a licensed bike racer. My hero Jacques "Monsieur Chrono" Anquetil, the first five-time winner of the Tour de France said, "To prepare for a race there is nothing better than a good pheasant, some champagne and a woman." I learned to follow the best wheel and be in the right place at the end. I cultivated balance, poise, and patient passion beyond luxury. Streaming perfection is my target.
Attach. attack, attack. Again! Again! Again! Otra vez!
When I was 24 y/o,
I was doing anatomic microdissections and doing pencil drawings
in my lab notes. Friday nights (I was a social maladroit) I stayed in my apartment meticulously stippling scientific illustrations of "bug parts" in pen-and-ink. Otherwise, I specialized in fast, short time trials on my track bicycle, and purposefully did stage races for confident mental agility and enduring prosperity.
When I was 26 y/o,
I watched 20 to 30 bus loads of excited children buzzing and running up and down the Academy corridors looking at our magnificent dioramas. I was an excited 26 y/o disappearing behind unmarked doors to 165 year-old hidden collections, adding mine to them. You see, I was a freshwater entomologist in the first environmental consulting firm founded by the world renown Dr. Ruth Patrick.
I can hear that fulfilling "BUZZ" when all y'all see my paintings."
When I was 43 y/o,
A BRAZILIAN ARISTOCRAT MADE IT HAPPEN FOR ME!
"I've been a fulltime artist for more than 29 years.
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.
I'm part of her legacy!"
I'm just a playful youngster at heart.
Apparently, I had a pair of strokes
in the last couple 2 or 3 years.
Why would I have noticed!
Most think I'm late 40's or early 50's.
THE VERY FINEST "FINGERING" EXCITES EVERYBODY
(Guitar, plucking a violin, playing flute, and innuendo aside)
"Every person needs and/or wants the same thing, i.e.,
to feel and be loved and courted daily in a youthful way,
wholeheartedly, consistently, brilliantly, shared values,
gracious, well-read, faithful, holding hands inseparably."
(✔ All I ever wanted to be was happily married forever.
More specifically ...
Animal-loving, tiny-town-ease, neat 'n petite, au naturale,
former competitive athlete, tough as nails, positive, fun,
the one and only best candidate for my attention, my BFF!
"If my husband ever met a woman on the street who looked like one of his paintings he would faint." - Jacqueline Rogue, Pablo Picasso's muse, model, last wife, and BFF; When she was 34 and he was 79 y/o they were quietly united in wedlock and lived on a remote hillside. (Picasso made 400 paintings of his sexy, adoring wife, exclusively.)
Oh là là!
"You can't learn to fly if you're not prepared to crash."
Joe Brooks, a fly fisherman from Baltimore, MD,
writer for Field and Stream, etc.
