🔱 ⚓ 🎖️ U.S. Navy SEALs
"I'm here because 120+ brave SEALs - UDT-14, kept my dad's
boat (DE-693/APD-78) unscratched in every battle.
Pop got his first battle scars as a U.S. Navy corpsman
when he landed in the Third Tide on Dog Green.
He was a chief medical officer when he was deployed
in the Lingayen Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.
My dad demanded excellence but expected virtuosity.
He was uniquely gifted and spastic like Paton.
Pop was very, very difficult to live with
and zeroed in on teaching others.
He was an ebullient leader."
(Carroll's a big fan of former SEAL LCDR "Jocko" Willink, author
Extreme Ownership, Leadership Strategy and Tactics,
Way of the Warrior Kid, ...)
"One of my little watercolors is between two original Picasso's
and an original Chagall on a gentleman's cattle ranch ---
I met the fellow when he was holding my painting in his hands.
Seeing his giddy joy, I can appreciate what it must be like to win
a NBA Championship ring, Super Bowl ring, NCAA Championship ring,
World Series, Stanley Cup, PGA or FIFA Cup, or Wimbledon Cup.
Work (Daily training, repetition, mind-play) is the exciting fun part.
Endorsements are simply a nice value added."
"THE WORLD TEACHES IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT COMPARISONS.
AUTHENTIC ART IS ALWAYS ABOUT RELATIONSHIP.
I used to feel I was inferior because I don't have an MFA,
formal art training, or a Master's or PhD in science,
or, a Harvard, Stanford, MIT, or Oxford degree.
Who was I to say 'I am the best of the best.'
Art is proverbial, philosophical, and quantum physics.
Most of all, art is about love. And, art supersedes Wagnerianism.
Great art is not sterile, rather it enlightens and titillates.
Art is contemporary, timeless, with deep roots, as are we.
There is nothing fake or confabulated in authentic art,
by intelligent definition. My ART is Us, We, and Our.
"I am Me, CARROLL, not Picasso, not van Gogh, not da Vinci.
There were two, maybe 3, artists in the last 600 years
since Leonardo da Vinci, who've had the rare opportunity
to be trained and equipped as I was. I just passed my
25th Anniversary 5 years ago, albeit I started 68 years ago.
I love relationship, cross t's and dot i's. It's 11.07.2024."

Carroll took up his visual art hobby to remember his older sister and to comfort those who mourn or experience really challenging health issues.
Surprise gifts were given through hospital volunteers, to their hospitalized Christmas patients, unknown to the Presidents/CEOs and their administration.
Few people knew AND the news media certainly didn't.
Like a gentle tropical sea breeze, fragrance, and warm sunlight,
Carroll believes the Holy Spirit flows through them.
"I only put my artwork where it multiplies in value and has
a superb ROI because I care. Ron J. Anderson, MD, president & CEO
Parkland Hospital, told me of his crazy nationwide vision.
I quickly realized that art is a Unique Selling Proposition for love,
prosperity, and well-being with a tremendous eternal ROI."
NO ONE CAN SCULPT IN REVERSE. YET, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WATERCOLOR DEMANDS. YOU MUST THINK DIFFERENTLY
AND IT IS A MYSTERY. NO ONE CAN TEACH VIRTUOSITY.
THAT'S 100% G.O.A.T. TERRITORY, YET, A G.O.A.T. IS COACHABLE.
A G.O.A.T. IS CONFIDENTLY COLORFUL.
CARROLL's TOP 10 ACTION STEPS:
1. I keep Yeshua first, The Son of the Most High, El Elyon,
Possessor and judge of heaven and earth. Prince of Peace,
Emmanuel, Good Shepherd, Lamb of God, Light of the World,
The Word of YHWH. "The One who gave me this gift.
I was born with this humble calling to serve.
At 4AM one morning, I stood alone in my advertising office and spoke to the empty room. I implored, 'Please reveal my gifts to me and help me use them.' I didn't know anyone was listening. Six months later I was in Spain with Alcaraz.
My preparation was the bare roots of 7th-grade art --- 30 years before!"
2. I serve an ever greater number of people worldwide.
3. I base my price on the total cost of production.
Ricardo's Law and Buffett's Value Investing.
4. I make efficient use of time and energy.
5. I have a solid, proven work ethic.
6. I cultivate stability and master volatility.
7. I invest for ever greater leverage.
8. I target areas of inspiration.
9. I foster perpetuity --- LEGACY --- Timeless value.
10. I live simply and live below my means.
That entails deferred gratification, some
lengthy schooling, and lifelong learning.
I create assets not depreciating consumables.
"The prosperity-minded buy my watercolors."
"Four-star Tommy Franks, USA (Ret.) penned the foreword
to my first book, Ode to Joy. inspired by Beethoven's Ninth.
General Franks sat on the Board of Trustees of
the National Park Foundation with Mr. David Rockefeller.
He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was knighted
by Her Majesty Elizabeth II, the Queen of the United Kingdom
and 32 other realms. Succeeded by her issue King Charles III.
A county judge that served General Franks at USCENTCOM,
now a U.S. Senator, helped me draft my proposal, after
a Hall of Fame musician introduced the general to me.
General Franks would not accept our compensation package."
Carroll's First Edition, Ode to Joy, shared the exclusive shelf beside autobiographies by President George W. Bush,, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Four-star General Tommy Franks, and General Colin Powell in General Franks' Leadership Institute Museum and Gift Shop where Carroll's painting, "He Was First a Private" is displayed. - The Four-star general explained, "I just want to help."
ONLY ONE ART CLASS ("I planned to be a scientist.')
Ms. Kathy Dugas, 7th-Grade Art, General Wayne JHS, GVSD.
"A gifted JHS teacher, she taught me perspective, to draw hands,
fingers, and to decorate interiors with pleasing sophistication.
She taught me to see and render.
Alcaraz taught me to see and render beauty."
CHEERFULLY PAYING IT FORWARD
National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, Arlington, Texas.
"I want to help people honor and remember those gallant,
intrepid patriots. Theirs are incredible stories of selfless valor
that benefited us and we save for all future generations.
The Medal of Honor Museum does that.
🎖️ Carroll supped with 40 Medal of Honors at Westmoreland's 50th wedding anniversary. An oil company president got Carroll there aided by Sir Edward Artis, Knight Commander of the Knights of Malta, who invited Carroll to join Sir Ed's inner circle of former presidents of U.S.A., Europe, and South America --- Kitsy's son, a big shot NYC lawyer, shot a picture of his mom with Carroll on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. He was in his aunt's and uncle's, Don and Mary Carter's, Queen Mary stateroom in The Big Apple on their way to jolly ol' England. To continue, at General Westmoreland's black tie Carroll was seated with SPC4 John Baca, Medal of Honor. Listen to this 1st Cavalry Division interview:
MOH Baca | 1st Cavalry Division Association (1cda.org)
Col Roger Donlon, GEN Westmoreland's ADC, the first Medal of Honor
in the Vietnam War, sent Carroll the Four-star general's invitation.

"Most of my paintings were made listening to WRR Classical 101.1 FM,
so I handed my Ode to Joy 1st Ed to Nancy Brunson and left one
for her morning co-host at the Fair Park station. She loved it!"
"No matter what you do, you’ll never run away from you."
- Paul Revere
En homenaje a Sr. Alcaraz (An orphan): 30 originals to The Adoption Exchange-NM. The artist Carroll's interview by CBS Evening News ran two weeks with the highest response in the Adoption's history. United Artist Theaters ran the images before all movies in CO and NM for 30 days. "I just wanted to help."
"My doctor parents supported and encouraged me in everything I did,
EXCEPT bicycle racing and being an artist, my passions! Both are
V. fast, dangerous, courageous, with no time or room for error.
I'm quick and play like a cat and my claws are razor sharp!
I was being me, not rebellious, just living on the edge.
People love my art, tho' a few don't."
SIDEBAR [Twice, the president of Dallas Museum of Art refused Carroll's no strings
offer of Alcaraz-framed paintings or to pen the forward to Ode to Joy.
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan sent Carroll a handwritten letter
declining because her husband was too ill to do it. President Reagan had already agreed to write the Foreword. With the help of a Knights of Malta Russian Priori Commander, and The Reagan's approval, Carroll sent his draft to The Reagan's ranch home. The Dallas Times Herald wrote about Alcaraz when he visited Dallas, Texas in the 1970's as it was very rare for Alcaraz to leave Spain, except when he traveled internationally to put on two-man art exhibits with Picasso. "It was on Cedar Avenue that the great man saw my 'Purple Thistle' drawing and told me he would teach me to do what he did 1 ½ months later. You should have heard Alcaraz turn up his nose and deride the 'signatures' celebrated by the world's 2nd and 3rd tier art museums. Alcaraz, in the Who's Who among 'authenticators for major art museums,' echoed MD, PhD Albert Barnes' derision." Doc Barnes' spectacular art collection was recently valued at US$40 Billion. Doc Barnes only bought what he loved. He was his own man and
not swayed by other's rancid, repugnant, and rancorous opinions. He cherry picked The Impressionists --- They're all still in his estate collection today! Alcaraz verified the authenticity of great Masters to keep fakes out of the world's elite museums. Alcaraz was the final judge and final authority for the richest.
His word was 24 carat gold when it mattered.
Alcaraz knew genius when he saw it.]
CARROLL's "Autodidactic" INFJ-A CURRICULUM VITAE
0. Carroll was born at CHOP, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and
grew up in rural Chester Springs - 28 miles west of Philadelphia, PA.
His doctor dad (a banker's oldest child) was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
His doctor mom was a doctor's daughter from Mount Vernon, South Dakota.
Carroll was 4 y/o when he became an artist
to comfort those who mourn.
"I was born in Philadelphia in 1951, BUT lived in rival city Dallas the last 40 years. I wonder what Jerry Jones, the oilman/team owner, would do if he knew that a Philly news anchor first dubbed his Dallas Cowboys 'America's Team,' a nickname that stuck in people's hearts and minds nationwide."
1. A Farm Boy Work Ethic. Drove farm tractors 8 to 10 hours daily as an 8 y/o.
Carroll built stone walls, set post 'n rail, did remodeling, mucked stalls, pointed flagstone, plowed and shoveled, weeded, edged, pruned, trimmed, cleared hedgerows, scraped and painted whatever wanted to be done. "My ΦΒΚ mom became a Pediatrician, taught at CHOP, and was Bill Nelson's first guest editor of Nelson's North American Pediatrics. She strode past the male-dominated medical world's barrier - "By air, land and by sea! - She only envisioned helping people."
"My dad was a world famous, ebullient dermatologist who loved to teach. He was a heck of a diagnostician. The best and brightest sought him. He was a medical school professor at Temple and had an enormous private practice serving the rich and powerful, Hall of Fame pro athletes, doctors, blue-collar workers, and a Mafia mob boss. He was the Director at Skin & Cancer Hospital built especially for him by the Brooklyn Bridge builder's super rich Roebling Family. An heiress led the charge. Her husband was an insurance executive and avian watercolorist., whose Pileated woodpeckers watched over our ca. 1550 kitchen table. My doctor dad made Skin & Cancer Hospital #1 in the world. When he left, Residents followed him to get lectures around our living room fireplace - 30 miles outside Philly. S&C no longer exists. Pop is dead and gone. He was good, fair, and an indefatigable perfectionist.
When I got to Dallas I found many of his very best students at their practices -
Like Coleman Jacobsen, who practiced with my dad and became Derm Chief at Baylor University Medical Center, now part of Baylor Scott & White Health.
He was repeatedly voted "The Doctor's Doctor" in Philly, received standing ovations from medical students, and had an enormous private practice.
I remember Benjamin West's painting 'Christ Healing the Sick' behind his Director's desk at Pennsylvania Hospital at 8th and Spruce. Pop cherry picked on Antique Row on Pine Street. Pop was a grad student in horticulture and Spanish in his 90's while volunteering daily at Community Volunteers in Medicine.
Pop had been a news headline running back and a pretty fast 53-second 440-guy on dark, vesicular, volcanic cinder tracks back in the 1920's.
My best friend, my Little League team's backstop, became a MIT physicist at 10 y/o. Me? Well, I was doing microdissections, making Riker mounts, going to hear meaty lectures at the Academy of Natural Sciences, and playing in our woodland stream, the 2nd order W. Branch of Pigeon Run. I had a homemade running water Mayfly aquarium in my bedroom. Mom was a Life List birder and traveled to see them. The Academy's Frontiers and Scientific American Magazine in my bedroom were equally dogeared. Pop gave me an English racing bike, a compound microscope, and a fielder's baseball glove when I was 5 or 6 y/o.
I saw 'Rocky' being filmed on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Pura Vida!"
2. Environmental Impact Statements, Principal Investigator,
Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where environmental consulting began --- in the world --- AND the 1st Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regs were co-written by Carroll's Insect Survey boss at Stroud Water Research Center of the Academy in Southern Chester County steeplechase and fox hunt country.
Carroll was enrolled in the Academy's Junior Curators Club as a 5 y/o.
3. A RESULTS-ORIENTED STORYTELLER, PR and BRAND Marketer.
Carroll was chief, cook, and bottle washer of his boutique firm
serving the presidents of medical societies, hemispheric corporate
officers, elite CPAs, law partners, investors, developers, etc.
He founded and built the business from scratch in an entirely new MSA (DFW).
Carroll sold this business over the phone the very day after he returned to Dallas, Texas from studying with Don Fco. Alcaraz in Castilian Spain.
SHINING A LIGHT ON CARROLL'S ADVENTUROUS
------------------------------------ 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 the Palatinate tall ship Lydia sailing to Baltimore, MD in the Colonies. (P. 91, Ellis Island, NY Harbor records.) Burgoon's were of the pugilistic Burgundiōnes who kicked butt all over Europe starting in ca. 249 AD after they returned to the mainland from Burgundarholmr Island, Denmark. The Kingdom of the Burgundians became a renown part of France --- Burgundy, France; others joined Attila's Hun army, or relocated to Swiss chalets. Carroll's great, great, ... uncle signed with Gen. George Washington's Continental Army that tented on Rebel Hill (Where Carroll lived), and Washington's blood-stained Army, marched past The Overhanging Rock at Gulph Mills for a frigid winter at Valley Forge,
then beat the world's most powerful army. Carroll was named after Freemason Charles Carroll of Carrollton, as were his dad and granddad (His dad was a 3rd degree member of the Pennsylvania Lodge). CCC was JJ Burgoon's next door neighbor in a German community in Carroll County, Maryland. Jean Jacques Burgun was a stylish shoemaker who made, sold, and designed shoes. JJ was a French shoe dog! Many of Carroll's watercolor fans are mega-UHNWIs, heirs, heiresses, medical specialists, and pro athletes. No trillionaires yet.

"Quite simply, I experienced an overwhelming urge to express what I saw through the medium of watercolor and to convey that almost ‘inner’ sense of texture which is impossible to achieve via photography." - HRH King Charles, in an article by Oscar Holland, CNN, January 12, 2022. HRH enjoys watercolor painting plein air landscapes to support charity. Before him, HRH Queen Victoria was an avid watercolorist preferring a Winsor & Newton Series 7.
