"Art is hyper scalable (Licensing, Gifts, ...):

Prints, posters, calendars, mugs, magnets,

t-shirts, sweatshirts, drawings, books,

tradeshow posters, promo posters,

company owner's note cards, ...

exhibits in strategic MSAs, plus

an artist appearance at a small

unveiling event of 10-25 folks.

It's like owning a leasehold

plus, the sky rights on

prime city property.

Great watercolor art is fun to own, and it is

a fantastic machine for making money."

⬇️ FOR THE BUSY BILLIONAIRE READER ⬇️

TO THE POINT

Carroll was coloring Christmas cards with a magnificent set of Crayola crayons as a 4½ y/o, after his older sister died tragically at age six and he couldn't find words to express grief, mourn, or put an end to survivor guilt.

He's crafted photographs since he was 6 y/o.

A picture swiftly closes the deal.

My dad landed on Dog Green in the Third Tide

on D-Day, June 6, 1944, two hours after thousands of men had been blown to pieces

on that very beach. Pop was a LTJG corpsman quickly triaging and saving all who he could

under intense fire. He left his sidearm and M-1 weapons shipboard. The fusillade missed him.

Pop kept going forward.

"I waded into life's deep end kinda early.

My cv just doesn't fit in anywhere.

Perhaps, I have wide national impact."

1️⃣ Carroll was an Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP - The oldest in the Western Hemisphere) Junior Curator at 5½ y/o, where he later served as a freshwater environmental scientist and Principal Investigator in Limnology & Ecology.

His Sigma Xi (ΣΞ) underwritten Honor's Thesis got him graduated from a Minnesota college.

He had "clearance" at Savannah Nuclear Power research site (350 sq miles of closed airspace), and Georgia Power's Nuclear Plant Hatch. His boss co-authored the Environmental Protection Agency's first regs with Ruth Patrick, PhD and the president of the United States of America.

2️⃣ Carroll was born an INFP-A creative.

CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH,

despite his MD parents wanting a scientist.

"My attire was jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers - not a suit and tie. My bed was mitered when I got up each morning long before the rooster crowed and got to work. Daily physical labor was my reality. Personal discipline matters as do respect, accountability, and ingenuity."

He dropped out of a southern UGA Master's (Aquatic Entomology), a northern UDEL PhD (Ecology), and two Texas MBA programs --- Where he had the top grades in grad Calculus, Accounting and Marketing; He is certified and proven in Communication, Leadership & Sales.

"Academic study just wasn't my bag -

Taking art classes didn't interest me -

7th-Grade art was enough for me."

SPORTS MADE HIM A GREAT ARTIST

"One day on a 220-mile ride with some daft, fast bikies, I fell off, when I woke up propped against a fence alongside the highway, the state police, an ambulance, and gawkers were milling about. The ER doctors said I'd separated my shoulder and needed surgery. I lost a lot of flesh. The ball-bustin 'Race of truth' sounded like fun. One month before States I realized I needed a track bike for kilo, so I got one of those, too."

Turned out he was a speedy banked track bike racer: In 1975 as a Cat 4 cyclist he was PA State Alternate to US Nationals (RHR 28, VO2 Max 75) --- He loved banked track cycling and trained on SE PA roads - bolted onto his brakeless Condor with Cinelli M71s and a 94-inch gear!

Life's not a sprint, so he became a distance runner, with a 4:08, 8:56, 31:57, and 1:17:15 on 70 sub-six miles/day each and every week.

Squash Hall of Fame Haverford Coach Norm Bramall taught him to see one demo of a skill and faithfully repeat it. He is a "Pre" fan.

Picking up pennies reminds Carroll that,

"The race is not to the swift but

to those who keep on running."

Life is full of long, steep hills ...

The caption on Carroll's favorite poster. (He ran sub-six up a hill like this on Rte. 401, slower near World's End State Park and a switchback trail in Yosemite NP. He scrambled over the Continental Divide in the Anaconda Pintlar Wilderness and jogged 120 miles on the AT, both with a 75lb backpack. As a sprint cyclist he did the really, really, really hard HIIT stuff, including, climbing a steep cobblestone street with a big, fixed gear in Athens, GA; Racing at East Point was a hoot.)

"I pray you are prospering and in health even as your soul prospers." 3 Jn 2

3️⃣ Carroll connects dots others don't see.

He MOVED TO TEXAS AND FOUNDED A BOUTIQUE MKTG FIRM.

"I'd had extensive 1-on-1 sales training and mentoring with the best in the U.S.A. My forte:

Birddogging, referral generation, client building, client retention, ... I learned from the best in many different fields, a jack of all trades.

Results (ROI and ROAS) matter to me."

He was head, chef, and bottle washer of a Dallas boutique marketing firm for 10 years.

"I've a businessman's bottom-line manner

and an entrepreneurial artistic spirit."

A referral from America's top boardroom consultant said, "[She] sent me. That can only mean one thing. You must be [super, super] good." Other client examples: A referral from of top pro speaker's coach & consultant were a civilian USAF two-star in charge of 30,000 civilian scientists at Andrews AFB and a sales and marketing VP for an oil and gas giant, ...

The #2 American airline, as ranked by Visual Capitalist, wanted to produce 500,000 inflight cabin magazines in English and Spanish --- Carroll flew coach to Spain and Brazil on its jets and stayed with friends who seemed to own almost everything since time began. His mother-in-law set up his study with the European childhood prodigy "Paco" Alcaraz.

INSURANCE SALES (PRE-TEXAS)

"My Philadelphia clients had all been Big Eight accountants, PNB, PNC, Mellon, Girard, bankers, law partners, business owners, MDs, and DOs. They all love The Best of the Best talent. I do. I was recruited at the Athenaeum by a general agent who'd been the #1 salesman nationwide with the perennially #1-ranked World's Most Admired insurance company and served my family. Aaron taught me to sell on a napkin, and have it stick. I won national recognition for volume and client retention twice in a row."

THE BEST FIND ME (PUBLIC SPEAKING)

"I threw away a note from the U.S. President, George H. W. Bush, applauding my community service in north Texas in disbelief --- I was in Toastmasters' leadership and honored as Rookie of the Year out of 1,200+ in the world's #1-ranked district (4,200 members). Then, I was elected Northern Division Lt. Governor overseeing training and development of about 600 members in 30 clubs, then, appointed District Treasurer. WHO'D HAVE EVER GUESSED.

I joined for effectiveness of public speaking

and leadership, that's all. I gave 225 public talks and workshops in my first six months and was on radio, TV, cable, and corporations e.g., Texas Instruments, State Farm Regional, Federal Credit Union, etc. After Spain I gave 525+ keynote art talks in Barnes & Noble Bookstores, K-5, middle schools, high schools, colleges, AAUW-SMU, University of Chicago Alumni, ... Rotary, Kiwanis, seniors, Dallas Police, radio, 50+ newspapers, corporations, ... by 9 mos. I'd torn up my vocal cords so, I got back to doing what I do, helping people better their goals and themselves."

The Path Less Traveled

"Then, at 4AM one morning, I stood alone in my marketing office and spoke into the empty room, 'Please reveal my gifts to me and help me use them.' I didn't know anyone was listening. Six months later I was painting on the far side of 'The Pond' in Spain. I sold my marketing business overnight when I returned stateside."

4️⃣ 5️⃣ 6️⃣ 7️⃣ Watercolor is like being fluent in Latin and a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th language -

It teaches you to think out-of-the-box and probably wards off dementia while improving your brain's cognitive function as does multilingualism. Few collectors ever master

the finicky language of curating art on paper,

let alone being knowledgeable of watercolor:

GREAT ARTISTS USED WATERCOLOR

John Singer Sargent, J. M. W. Turner, Paul Klee, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Georgia O'Keeffe, John James Audubon, Mary Cassatt, and Leonardo da Vinci. There are many more.

KEY PEOPLE BELIEVED IN ME

ALONG THE WAY

"I lived in historic 'Unique by Nature,' McKinney, TX but avoided its thriving arts community: I made 12 watercolors around McKinney --- 16 others were on display at Christ Fellowship for 2 yrs. (Four were portraits of McKinney residents modeling for Book of Luke sermons. The megachurch's senior pastor had The Dallas Morning News come interview me. Twelve were featured in a 400,000-member Chicago nonprofit's custom 'loyalty' calendar with 75,000 selectively mailed gratis worldwide.)

A painting was at Plano City Hall, put there by the Fire Chief, Bill Peterson after 9/11.

H. Ross Perot, Sr. phoned me one morning to coach and assist me, ..."

Dr. Lazar wrote, "SIMPLY INSPIRATIONAL"

during a lunch in his office, 1996(?), after Carroll attended Four-star Westmoreland's black tie with 40 Medal of Honors in the First-Class Dining Room on RMS Queen Mary. The Artist Carroll sat with SPC4 John Baca, Medal of Honor. Carroll befriended two Knight Commanders of the Knights of Malta; Both reported directly to the Pope in Rome. Kitsy had her New York lawyer son, Kip, take a photo of her with Carroll and a Vietnamese general. "An oil company president, took me after Westmoreland's Aide de Camp, Col. Roger Donlon, MOH, made arrangements.

('Westy': Distinguished Eagle Scout, the USMA Pershing Sword, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army)

Martin Lazar is world dean of brain surgeons.

Listen to John Baca's 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

and arranged his accommodation for the black-tie evening.

American Valor . Stories of Valor . Roger Donlon | PBS

Also, that evening,

a Knight Commander, Knights of Malta offered Carroll membership

in his exclusive priori with Pres. Reagan, Pres. Carter, ...

and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.

"I was surprised to receive a letter from

His Majesty Juan Carlos I The King of Spain

with a cover and courtesy translation from the Spanish Ambassador in Wash., D.C."

CONFESSIONS (Favorites):

My favorite color is Ferrari RED symbolizing speed, passion, and well, game-changing, Masterful technique. Dopotutto (After all), it has a high-pitched Vvvrrrrrooooooom!"

Vincent van Gogh Visits the Musée d'Orsay with Doctor Who (Youtube, 2010, Vincent van Gogh Visits the Musée d'Orsay with Doctor Who - Google Search). Vincent van Gogh's estimated IQ 165. Could AI have made van Goghs, Picassos (IQ 175), Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa, Salvator Mundi, or The Last Supper, ...?

8️⃣ 9️⃣ 🔟 ...

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

Later, I learned Alcaraz was world famous."

"One of my mentors made the largest player deal the NFL had ever seen - #56 Lawrence Taylor was worth every single penny of it.

Joe was absolutely the #1 dealmaker,

a fantastic artist selling greatness!"

"I was surprised at 6AM on Christmas morning to get a phone call from a Tour Champion's happy wife saying at that very moment her husband home from the PGA Tour, was positioning their furniture around her surprise gift, a bespoke painting I made of his dog at his signature hole at The Colonial CC."

GENEROUS MEN & WOMEN AIDED ME.

"Thank You!" "شكرًا لك!" "Merci!" "Danke schön!" “謝謝你！” "Cảm ơn!"

"감사합니다!" "¡Gracias!" "Obrigado!"

I MENTION SIX DISTINGUISHED TEACHERS:

1. 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 on the big screen before all movies in CO and NM for 30 days. "I seem to remember Alcaraz restored artifacts in Notre Dame and other famous Crusade Era cathedrals in France and Germany, as well as

ancient cave paintings in Southern France and a museum's prized Rembrandt."

2. Mrs. Kathy Dugas-Brown, 7th-Grade Art, General Wayne JHS, GVSD.

"A delightfully gifted JHS teacher, she taught me perspective, to draw hands,

fingers, and to decorate interiors with pleasing sophistication. She was beautiful.

She showed me Albrecht Dürer's Young Hare, Praying Hands, and Large Piece of Turf.

She set the bar very high for me --- She pushed me to do better then, even better.

Women always look at my fingers and wonder. I have good hands and soft eyes.

3. Hall of Fame BGen USMC (Ret.), Woodrow M. Kessler, Bronze Star with a "V" attachment, former POW, my 11th-Grade Art Appreciation teacher, also at GVSD, first urged me to go to Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia after high school and introduced me to watercolor. His teachings about light and lines were integral to all of my paintings.

4. Roger Bacon OFM, a medieval English polymath, scientist and philosopher who wrote about the causes of error in his Opus Majus: Believing a) Weak and unworthy authority, b) Ourselves to be right, when wrong, c) The consensus of the common crowd, and it being 4) The way our parents did it. This was summarized in a 1961 Scientific American and remained thumb-tacked above my desk all through high school and college.

5. Dr. Myron A. "Black Mike" Anderson, PhD, professor, Gustavus Adolphus College.

He was one of Carroll's greatest believers and advocates.

6. Don & Mary Carter, aunt & uncle, inspired a legacy of travel, visionary entrepreneurism,

and succeeding adding up one penny at a time. Mary attended Carroll's graduation.

Visionary cigar-chomping Uncle Duck could spot a tremendous deal from 100 miles

away and be ready to capitalize on each when it arrived. He ran numerous cash cows.

Carroll spent many summers boating and fishing at their Northwoods log cabin.

PHILANTHROPY

★ ★ ★ Carroll donated 30,000 of his prints, books, and 65-70 originals ★ ★ ★

"I got a few 'Thank you' letters from Executive Directors and C-level officers but otherwise I have no record of who received my gifts. I merely wanted to help people by supporting gallant, intrepid citizens, veterans, and those who sacrificed everything. Theirs are incredible stories of selfless valor that benefitted us AND future generations. I didn't require accountability or make any restrictions. Our heroes sure didn't. Each was given 100% holding nothing back. In the past, two city councilmen valued my gifts at $21 million (Equal to about $80 million in 2025 dollars). BUT it's the sacrifices made by men and women, and their children and their families that I remember. I remember my dad's service as a battlefield doctor on D-Day in France and the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa in WWII. His nightmares ended when Pop died - He fell down the front stairs at the ripe age of 91 and was gone 2 weeks later."

DALLAS WAS GOOD TO ME

"Most of my paintings were made while listening to WRR 101.1 FM. So, I hand delivered a copy of Ode to Joy to Nancy Brunson, who is an avid diarist/journalist. My mentor, Major General Hugh G. Robinson PE, USA (Ret.), was delighted. Hugh worked to get me on Good Morning Texas with his wife, and on WFAA and KHOU. Hugh was on the BELO Corp Board of Trustees. We were introduced by Mr. Perot's neighbor and philanthropy consultant one day after I keynoted the American Association of University Women at SMU.

The founder of La Madeleine graciously suggested ideas to improve to my book, Ode to Joy. Some NFL Hall of Famers wrote fantastic testimonials for my first book.

Thank you, #80 Tony Hill, Dallas Cowboys.

Dr. Ron Anderson, MD, Parkland CEO, called me to his office to share a U.S.-sized idea.

Dallas Morning News did 9 or 10 stories.

Even People Newspapers ran a story!

The Executive Director of PCPC Women's Ministry and Dallas Theological Seminary

got in the fun. On and on and on it goes ...

DFW ▲9.25% is the U.S.A.'s #4 MSA after NYC-NJ, LA-Long Beach-Anaheim, and Chicago IL-IN, the three of which people are leaving.

I finally felt worthy of success -

That's what Texas did for me."

A dismayed artworld insider told me that I'd seriously undervalued my paintings,

17 years ago, as he was selling his artist's tiniest paintings for $500k each and put

more than a $100 million/year into the guy's pocket. He stated I'm much better.

($8,800 per square inch is very reasonable). His magnanimous friend, who owns

a Big Three Los Angeles moviemaker, wanted to make a movie about me -

for global distribution. The prodigy genius Don Francisco Alcaraz, the Colonial Brazilian heiress Helena, and ONE American, a Yale MFA in Art History, ever watched me paint.

It would take a lot more than money for a biographical or film rights."

"My dad taught me to love, listen, and learn.

I let go of the fear of having colorful smiling timbre in my voice, being a lukewarm color, and I became an artist in life. My feet are up under me — Letting the good stuff happen!"

CONNECTED TO THE DISTANT PAST

BURGOON FAMILY HISTORY

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. 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. Carroll was named after Freemason Charles Carroll of Carrollton. CCC was JJ Burgoon's next door neighbor in a German community in Carroll County, Maryland.

JJ was a French shoe dog and an artist!

His mom hailed from an immigrant Irish potato farmer in Rawdon,

north of Montreal, Canada. She was a first generation American and the youngest daughter of Dr. Thomas B. Smiley, MD in Mount Vernon, Davison County, South Dakota.

Dr. Smiley was a small-town family doctor. His brother was a famous Quebec doctor.

Carroll's great, great, great, ... paternal uncle rode into Fort Worth in 1850;

His son moved to Denton in the same year.

Carroll flew into DFW from PHL in June 1984, then onward in 2025.

¡Feliz! El águila vuela, pesca y se aparea de por vida. ¡Muchas gracias! Cordero y salmón fresco, fletán, trucha, arándanos, flan, ... Hispanos.

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

- Picasso

"El acto de pintar consiste en que un corazón le diga a otro corazón

dónde encontró la salvación."

- Francisco Goya

"My teacher, Francisco Alcaraz, gave me a guided tour of Museo Nacional del Prado, where his handcarved frames showcase masterpieces by history's greatest painters.

I'm honored he carved frames for 2 of my paintings he saw me paint."
