"I've been a fan of 'America's Team' since I left Philadelphia 40+ years ago, and of the Rangers for just as long. I was on the sidelines when Deion was stretching and chatting with QG Brett Favre. I watched Pudge launch 4 homers on July 4th. My painting of RoughRiders fans brought 10 million views. Texas has been good to me." - Carroll

if you cannot find an answer to your question.
WHERE? I go where I'm treated the best, where life is safe, pure and simple, like a tropical rainforest or near a national park.
WHAT (FOR EXAMPLE)? Ephemeros, Plecops, damselflies, caddis, dragonflies, fly fishers casting trout holds --- Plus a few other kinds of larger action portraits --- Hummingbirds and soccer, sail boating, and polo are strong possibilities. Carroll only paints what he knows, firsthand, up close and personal, afield.
WHEN? Planning complete. Connections made. Fieldwork and painting begins NOW.
★★★★ TOP, Much in Common is a Cahill mayfly on the underside of an Alder leaf along Pigeon Run. Standing on a granite rock in a 5'-wide meandering creek on a Piedmont farm, Carroll used his 90mm Macro to take a field photo for this pen and ink with Prismacolor --- His fingers are in the picture turning the leaf to reveal the Mayfly. You see them? He gifted the original to help get New Mexico's orphans into safe, loving homes. CBS ran the story in the Evening News for two weeks and United Artist Theaters showed the paintings before every movie for a month in several states. That's ROI LEVERAGE - You don't need an MBA to see that, just moxie.

[BERNAYS BRUSH STROKES: Fly flingers GO FISHING wherever, whenever, because they can. They are not limited to domestic travel. Tactical and strategic thinkers instantly know how to exploit this to tweak your S-curve. Your CFO and tax counsel know how to write it off. What would it be worth to your competition?
EVERONE LOVES A GOOD STORY.]
Imagine "tight loop" artwork that makes a dominant statement, a unique selling proposition! A painting could feature you or key people and popular destinations! This is your chance to enhance your market position and skunk the competition ---
"I have an integrative approach to create long-lasting value. My market no longer outruns speeding trains and jumps tall buildings, BUT often wades into swift currents surefootedly.
"I'll bring an EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR 20.1MP digital camera and EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM (for afield) and a new M80 stereo zoom microscope (for the atelier) with a 12 MP digital camera, ring lighting, and a micrometer," --- ALSO, on his list: A Thomas & Thomas INDIVIDUALIST HENRY'S FORK 3-piece bamboo fly rod and T&T INDIVIDUALIST FLY REEL. Nothing but the best of the very best. Sometimes high cost doesn't jive with quality BUT, for nature lovers it must and it does. A private jet is going to take me and my family to our new home.
"Chronicling known fly flingers and benthic insects in 140+ watercolor paintings (Both detailed and abstract) AND pen and ink illustrations with colored pencils ★★★ GOOD FOR A STRATEGIC TRAVELING ART EXHIBITION (USA and Sister Cities) - Scientifically precise with popular landscape scenery --- Remember, m 1st career was field and lab benthic insect specialist in this Hemisphere's oldest natural history museum (1812 pre-dating the Smithsonian) and birthplace of environmentalism --- AND, my second career was marketing to the UHNWI strata. THE ORIGINALS ARE NOT FOR SALE - BUT MAY BE EXHIBITED IN SISTER CITIES WORLDWIDE. I MIGHT AUTHORIZE LOW-NUMBER (#2 of 9 thru #9 of 9) MUSEUM-QUALITY LIMITED EDITIONS and a couple of museum-quality UNCUT pairs for gifts to key people. THEREWILL BE A COUPLE OF ARTIST PROOFS OF EACH PAINTING. YOU'D NEVER GUESS WHAT I'D CHARGE TO DO THIS CAMPAIGN ENHANCEMENT (SUPPORT) PROJECT THE WAY I ENVISION.
"I am preeminently equipped to single-handedly do this as a First Rate project, with a pleasant blend of J.J. Audubon and Neiman styles with a little razzmatazz of Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Johannes Vermeer, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Andy Warhol, J.M.W. Turner, John Singer Sargent, Mark Rothko, Winslow Homer, and Hokusai. I delight in what each did for different reasons.
Something old, tried and true, and something new. I don't understand advanced mathematics so I paint in terms of Quantum physics, Albrecht Dürer, Bob Ross, with a few brush strokes Ēadweard Bernays and Albert Einstein could've added.
I'm not a Yankee Magazine intellectual, just ⅔ artist, ⅗ scientist, 66.3% athlete, and ⅘ businessman with Yogi Berra-like insight. I'm an eclectic pragmatist."
"I was just about giving it up as a bad job when I suddenly felt a rather smart pull at the line. I thought it was another little one, and I went to jerk it up. Hang me, if I could move the rod! It took me half-an-hour – half-an-hour, sir! – to land that fish; and every moment I thought the line was going to snap!"
- Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat (1899)
"So, it was one morning. I stood there, without even casting and with no trout rising, and as the water rushed past me, I knew it was washing my burdens behind me, swirling them downstream like the autumn leaves."
- Steve Ramirez, a Texan, author Casting Forward, and more.
"Then it happened. A massive tug and then I watched the line rip through the water ahead of several big air leaps."
- In a 2024 online article by Thomas and Thomas Ambassador, Andy J, Danylchuk, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Environmental Conservation, UMass Amherst.
I enjoy it when a ravenous world class Sea Wolf gulps 'n runs!
Bammm!!! (Spotted trout, Cynoscion nebulosus)
Carroll is a fan of U.S. Marine Steve Ramirez, fly fisherman, author (Casting Forward is featured in Mending the Line, Casting Onward, ...) and writes The Seasoned Angler column in Fly Fisherman. (Carroll: "Fly Fisherman Magazine casts a tight loop! Fishermen, conservationists, environmentalists, aquatic entomologists, riparian ecologists, outdoorswomen and outdoorsmen, and nature lovers will suck it down!
