"For art lovers with an unusual sense of aesthetics. So yes, we study van Gogh for soul and Jeff Koons for big flash. Mine is the hush between - where my art meets the Divine and every collector has a front-row seat to watch my illuminations. Watercolor was recognized as an art form in Chinese manuscript painting around BCE 4,000 and became distinct during the Renaissance.

My ancestors settled in TEXAS in 1850.

I arrived 134 years later. I landed in Madrid, Spain for personal art tutelage with

D. Fco. Alcaraz, Independence Day, 1994.

He restored prehistoric cave paintings in southern France, iconic European cathedrals,

Rembrandt, did 2-mans with Picasso, and is held by Le Louvre, El Prado, and The Met.

What a summer!

I was making precise, detailed drawings

and played with color when I was 5 y/o.

I paint blue, red, green, and purple".

Carroll connects dots most can't see.

"It was a Brazilian lady, granddaughter of the co-founder of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo who arranged my study with Don Fco. Alcaraz.

Her name was Helena Braga Pereira da Cunha,

from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"My name Carroll honors our Maryland neighbor, last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton".

"I' have been described as having a > 160 IQ

by a 4.0 Yale MFA art historian who watched me paint - She has a 160 IQ. Picasso's estimated 175 IQ. Vincent van Gogh ≈ I65 IQ est. and Sylvester "Rocky" Stallone ≈ 165 IQ. Da Vinci 180+ IQ. Who cares?

"I'm a SYMBOLIST. I paint meaning with emotion, not pigments, provoking thought. I transform pain into something beautiful and hang with Picassos and a Chagall on a cattle ranch. Rugged individualism, John Wayne style. I've painted some powerful scenes and some influential folks at the world-level;

It's intuitive, inspirational, and a big mystery.

I love this work!

"I paint the loon's call across a clear lake.

I paint the susurrus of sedges and redolence of pine-stained air. I paint the 'chips,' 'chucks' and 'trills' of indigenous chipmunks.

I paint halyards tapping the mast and

the fly fisher's tight loop inflight.

"I paint a thundering storm; A lake dimpling squall, rain on a metal roof, snow by the cubic foot and my breath hanging in the air.

I love a warm, dancing campfire, huckleberry pancakes, freshly caught trout, 25-year-old Highland single malt Scotch whisky in an Edo Kiriko handcrafted glass, and sleeping under a silk jacquard and Siberian down comforter.

I love wash boarding along rural roads and

walking barefoot on pine needles. More priceless than da Vinci's Salvator Mundi or

the early morning misted waterfall.

Look through glass not made of sand,

rather, you can feel the presence.

Learn to listen.

I like the finer things in life."

"When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor".

"Here I am. I keep Him first.

Take what I offer—or don't—but this is true".

LOVE.
