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.

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

My cv just doesn't fit in anywhere."

 CF "Carroll" Burgoon, III

is an ARTIST discovered in another Spindletop,

in DFW, one of the greatest global hub cities in the entire world. Art niche: Cherry picked.

"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist."

- Picasso

"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.

Making money is art and working is art

and good business is the best art."

- Andy Warhol

"Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is."

- Jackson Pollock

 "Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man's hope in love. In life, just as on the artist's palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art – the colour of love."

- Marc Chagall

"When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art."

- Paul Cézanne 

"I think art teaches us how to feel, what our parameters can be, what sensations can be like; it makes you more engaged with life."

- Jeff Koons

"Art comes from everywhere. It’s your response to your surroundings."

- Damien Hirst

"An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will."

- Willem de Kooning

"I avoid haughty rodomontade and pessimists.

Art'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."

- Carroll

And so, the multi-decades walkabout began

 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.

 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."

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."

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-busting 'Race of truth' sounded like fun. One month before States I realized I needed a track bike for kilo, so I quickly got one of those, too. It was a Condor that silvered to New York's National Champion Jackie Simes."

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.

"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.)

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. ..."

A referral from America's top boardroom consultant said, "[She] sent me. That can only mean one thing. You must be [super, super] good." 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, ...

"Do you know who I am?"

4️⃣ THE BEST NOTICE & SEEK ME

"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. After Spain, I gave 525 art talks at Barnes & Noble Bookstores, K-5, middle schools, high schools, colleges, AAUW-SMU, University of Chicago Alumni, ... the first 9 months of 1995.

The news came."

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 aquarela.

GREAT ARTISTS USED AQUARELA: 

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 more.

Some created wine bottle labels for

Château Mouton Rothschild.

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.

"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):

8️⃣

"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.

I'm basically unknown."

"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.

DALLAS WAS VERY 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.

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. I autographed 900+ prints

for folks at a National Children's Advocacy dinner at Reunion Tower and 375 Ode to Joys for professors and staff at Dallas Baptist University. On and on and on it goes ..."

9️⃣

"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 became an artist in life. My feet are up under me. Figurative works integrate an abstract element, connecting the dots between imaginative lines letting

 the best of the best happen!

Thus—I favor Crystal Bridges Museum

of American Art in Bentonville."

"I just wanted to find out where the boundaries were. So far I've found there aren’t any. I just wanted to be stopped,

and no one will stop me."

- Damien Hirst

"I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste."

- Marcel Duchamp
