CONNECTION MATTERS
"I'll always remember Ms. Kathie Dugas 7th Grade teacher at General Anthony Wayne Junior High School (GVSD) who taught me to draw hands and showed me the art of watercolorist and mathematician Albrecht Dürer. A Colonial Brazilian heiress arranged my painting studies with famed European, Alcaraz. An interior decorator redecorated her office around 40+ of my originals and brought the bride of her #1 client to see the collection; Her friend bought my art!!! as did a PGA & Open champion's bride and a Big Pharma heiress and a booze king's daughter. Arts patron Mrs. 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 Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, Soviet/Russian Gorbachev and South American heads of state. A Quarter horse-loving petroleum heiress, married to a Hall of Fame cowboy and NFL player paid my way to study under Sr. Alcaraz in Europe with the proviso that she gets the first dibs when I returned to Texas. Many saw my great potential as I unpacked & repacked my baggage in Texas.
EXTRAORDINARILY-GIFTED
"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.
"Otra vez". "Again". (He said)
- Don Fco. "Paco" Alcaraz
Carroll's favorite film is Miracle (2004, produced by Mark Ciardi, et al. One mentor was Ciardi's Brewers pitcher sinker-slider teammate.) 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 prodigy artist Alcaraz
Daily the temp soared from 4°C at sunrise to 37°C by midafternoon. It was in the foothills near a winter tourist destination. Every meal had Marques De Caceres' rose wine and local olive oil. The village had 33 folks who cared for each other - "Texas was friendly but don't get in my way".

The 1st Ten Years (1994 to 2013)
"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 art. I gave art to children's hospitals, adoption, children's advocacy, CASA, education, ...

Ron Anderson, MD, President & CEO, Parkland Hospital, told me he wanted my art in every hospital room and corridor nationwide. Retired MG Hugh Robinson, USMA and MIT alum and BELO Corp trustee was my mentor, as were the mayor of Plano, a former USAF captain, and multibillionaire Ross Perot, Sr. Their philanthropy pro coached me.

SET THE STAGE FOR ART
"I paint quickly with cojones, brains and balance as a consequence of sports - I've been a Little League Baseball fielder, NRA Bar 2 Sharpshooter, certified Safe Hunter, played Varsity tennis, was 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. When bicycle sprinting, I toed the line trusting another victory. A racer called my track bike a 'Suicide machine' since I trained on open roads, bolted to the pedals, and without brakes. I backpacked the AT and Anaconda Pintler Wilderness and ran a 4:08-mile and ran 10ks - 20 yrs of sub-six miles at 80% effort. I love hard work.
"Alcaraz spoke of three 'planos' of depth, but I paint 10 or 11 - That's what I see. He, Alcaraz, dabbled in a palette of pigments; Mine was the rare hues of shekinah glory, which don't exist on any palette - the wife of a multi-presidential appointee pointed that out. I enjoy seducing a stark white, blank sheet of watercolor cold press without any instructions. I see each composition after it is finished. I used to build Revell models in that way, w/o using the instructions. Thus, I made them in a vacuum of time. Thus, I paint like Messi plays soccer. Thus, I penciled/drew -
The Purple Thistles.
MY DAD CALLED ME "EBULLIENT"
"My doctor dad was a front page running back and 440 guy in high school and in the Third Tide on Dog Green, the deadliest beach on D-Day. I imagine he must've been cursed sprinting and triaging amidst moans and cries for help, and charred, smoldering bodies, sticky blood soaking his clothes and death filling his nostrils. He felt helpless like a 'Stupid, worthless bastard' on the battlefield. Poppy deployed as chief medical officer on APD-78, USS Bull, in the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, two strategic Japanese islands. Pop was sought by Hall of Fame pro athletes, other doctors, the world's richest, and the Philly Mob Boss.
Patients loved Doctor B.
Pop absolutely enjoyed what he called,
'The fine art of medicine'.
He was a 3rd degree Master Mason.
Poppy had tremendous advisors.
The family that built the Brooklyn Bridge built a specialty hospital for him. We set up the first licensed equestrian center in Pennsylvania - An Olympic Gold Medalist was 1st headmaster - I mucked stalls, mended fences, built jumps, drove a big red Farmall, and a Massey Ferguson tractor mowing pastures - I drove all day from the time I was 8 y/o. My PBK mom daily took me to the Academy of Natural Sciences where I was a Junior Curator as a 5 y/o. Pop's office had stacks of JAMA, JAAD, Antiques, Tennis, Nature, Audubon, Outside, Scientific American, etc. He volunteered at CVIM, did 100 pushups every morning and opened the indoor tennis courts until a fall resulted in death at 91. The man had no off switch.
