💎💎💎💎 NOVEL ART. "My paintings sing passionately like Pavarotti sang the feelings between the notes of Nessun dorma. I hope my art brings joy to your heart and inspires you." WATCH Doctor Who and van Gogh at the Musée d'Orsay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTJI_UphPk ---- 💎💎 Carroll is robustly observant, intuitive, relevant, and augments your identity. Collecting is a luxurious privilege of the world's richest and is a sign of extraordinary wealth ---- Often it is owned by family foundations. 💎 (At the Top) THE THINKER slowly speaks few words, connects well with everyone with emotional depth, sees at a much higher level than most others, thrives on novelty, biodiversity, and resolutely behaves with single-mindedness. THE THINKER is an avid reader and researcher who values conservation, e.g., clean water and healthy forests, and personal reputation. He is well-prepared to take risks, though often misunderstood, and sees between the lines connecting the dots. I love this work.

AI: The Artistic Intelligence™ in CARROLL's

"Mine is a story of love, hope, and of faith

amidst the loss of a loved one and beyond.

It's more than skin deep.

I made art my fulltime hobby at age 43

after studying w Alcaraz in Spain.

I've always been an optimist.

I've always been ebullient.

I want the ball."

CARROLL"Tiger" BURGOON - an INFJ-A

a biopsychosocial painter, has various names,

foremost, THEPAINTBRUSHPOET™

This "self-taught" artist began his charitable portfolio at 3½ y/o - Medical colleagues of his parents perished when their private plane crashed and left their two children orphaned.

CARROLL collected money to help them ---

"I didn't know their names or what became

of them. I merely wanted to help." آقاخان

"I was more comfortable painting behind the scenes while healing and licking my wounds,

so, you've probably never heard of me.

My sister's sudden death almost sank me.

My Navy MD dad's PTSD made my sails luff.

He was a celebrated owlish professor at Temple medical school.

My pediatrician mom was his steadying XO.

She taught at U. Penn medical school.

My youth almost capsized in a litter-strewn

mess with no guardian hovering in sight.

∴, only elite sport competition, research, and ladies were my sole gratifying oases.

Moi put all of my big dreams on hold and

nailed my colors to the splintered mast.

My electricity and water were shut off,

I slept on other's sofas, in my car, in a

homeless shelter, and an RV. I got quite

a grassroots intro to mundane reality.

Being healed, i.e., well, was paramount!

"I'm conscious of social level, of net worth and connect the non-obvious dots seeing between the lines of all boundaries."

A Texan defended Carroll stating ---

"He's not autistic. He's a Yankee!"

∑_(i=1)^n =A classy genetic algorithm!"

Pelé said, "I was born for soccer, just as Beethoven was born for music."

#️⃣ 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 allay survivor guilt.

"Helen died from encephalitis when her brain turned into mush immediately after my doctor mom gave her a common medication. She was put on life support for two weeks. Helen was

my leader, #1 support, my BFF, my big sis, ... I struggled in self-destructive agony for several decades. I'd never felt such gut-wrenching pain.

And, I didn't know why. Nothing seemed to help.

I quit school, sports, public speaking, etc. as soon as I began to excel. At age 43 painting began as PAINting for me. I survived in a pain level of 7 and didn't smile or cry for many years. Pain was only temporary (Suffering is off the charts and w/o end in sight.) I was reclusive, fearful, angry, and tired of running from the Truth. My goals became crystal clear and unchangeable. A psychologist told me I dissociated at the drop of a pin, and then,

announced, 'You are a miracle. YES.'

AlleluYah!!!"

Carroll became self-aware, reflective, analytical, and has engineered extended periods of meditation, peace and quiet, and shinrin-yoku.

Loren Allred advised, "You could be the most talented person in the world, but unless you’re putting yourself out there, the world won’t be able to give you opportunities. Once you’re able to face that fear, it gets to be less and less, so I’m a big fan of exposure therapy!"

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear," and, "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith," and, "It is time to extend planning to a wider field, in this instance comprehending in one great project many states directly concerned with the basin of one of our greatest rivers."

CV: An Aussie Traditional Walkabout

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.

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.

ANSP was the first job of debutantes of East Coast Old Money and prestigious schools.

Carroll grew up in a very small resort village

10 miles west of Valley Forge, N.P.,

where General George Washington had his Colonial Army hospital.

2️⃣ CARROLL is a creative storyteller, and

Watercolors are his finest wordsmithing ---

always from personal firsthand experience,

playful, symbolic, poetical, and athletic.

He is a risk-all taking entrepreneur.

Several paintings got hundreds of thousands

of views with one exceeding 10 million,

twelve were featured in a 12-month calendar, others as regional magazine cover art.

He gave 500+ art keynotes, e.g., AAUW at SMU, University of Chicago-Dallas Chapter alumni, Brinker International, Trammel Crow corporate attorneys and accountants, ... in 9 months.

3️⃣ CARROLL handwrites Thank You notes on exquisitely watermarked, handmade 15th Century Italian stationery. He enjoys the personal touch of a classy fountain pen and

1936 John Paul Jones U.S. postage stamps.

"I paint colorfully in the present moment. I quickly realized it would help me excel as an artist by being in such state 24/7.

I sold my childhood stamp collection to fly to Spain. I thrive with eclectic demeanor.

I love grazing in genuine research libraries."

4️⃣ Naturally, CARROLL was born an artist,

despite his doctor parents wanting a scientist.

He dropped out of a southern D1 Master's (Aquatic Entomology), a northern D1 PhD (Ecology), and two Texas MBA programs --- Where he had the top grades in his Calculus, Accounting and Marketing; He is certified and proven in Communication, Leadership, Sales and Marketing. He was a speedy banked track bike racer (1975: As a Cat 3 cyclist qualified as PA State Alternate to US Nationals - RHR 28, VO2 Max 75), then, distance runner, 1981-83, with a 4:08, 8:56, 31:57, and 1:17:15 on 95 sub-six miles each week.

"I am not afraid to fail to reach my goals."

"A Master's of Science Communication should have been my target. The nature-loving HSH Prince Ranier III of Monaco and his beautiful wife Grace Kelly were my teacher's patrons, among European kings and queens."

5️⃣ Watercolor is like being fluent in a 2nd,

3rd, 4th, 5th 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 master art on paper.

Ayahuasca. Watercolor is therapeutic,

legal worldwide, fosters insight, understanding, and facilitates mental dexterity. ALSO, it improves image and augments legacy.

Carroll travelled 8 countries and 44 states,

and enjoys haute cuisine and gardening.

NOW. Connect the non-obvious dots!

6️⃣ CARROLL was an impatient, diplomatic, strategic, creative, marketing advisor

who made millions for his clients.

He was chief, cook, and bottle washer of a boutique marketing firm for 10 years.

His art connects spiritually, mentally --- consciously --- with top shelf people, e.g., a civilian two-star in charge of 30,000 civilian scientists at Andrews AFB, a sales and marketing VP for an oil and gas giant,

a teacher at École hôtelière de Lausanne, ...

7️⃣ "My favorite color is dark navy blue,

symbolizing authority, power, sophistication, classiness (Status), stability, trustworthiness,

strength, stoicism, dominance.

2nd is forest green symbolizing rejuvenation, prosperity, growth, forest bathing, very high moral standards, and strength in adversity.

Schließlich (After all), I am an alpha."

Sun Tzu said, "Know thy self, know thy enemy.

A thousand battles, a thousand victories."

8️⃣ "My aim is to be the 'MJ' of painting,

since it will help achieve my buzzer beating goals; I grew up in elite-level competitive sports, esp. running and track bike racing.

I grew up around world class gold medal champion horsemen. My doctor dad was

an avid tennis buff. Dad was a front page running back and 440 guy on a scoria track.

People came from around the world to be treated by him, study under him, or work for him. This was normal. It never occurred to me people lived differently. Money and prestige were not considerations. 24/7, we worked passionately around the clock. Ninety-hour weeks, minimum, plus our farm and sports.

I bolted onto my speed machine with tied and soldered wheels and no brakes - I trained sprints on country roads, thoroughfares, and highways reaching 48.5 mph and 210 rpms - then, raced on the steeply banked velodrome."

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why

I succeed." - #23 Michael Jordan

"One of my mentors did the largest player contract the NFL had ever seen. He handled a lot of household name superstars.

He hired me for enjoyable contract work, then, freed me of a personal matter."

OLDER, SEASONED MENTORS

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

"¡Gracias!" "Obrigado!" One supporter negotiated the largest player contract

the pro League had ever seen and served many household name jocks.

A Major General, USMA, and MIT graduate mentored me and wanted me to be on Good Morning Texas chatting with his bride so everyone would know about me and my artwork. Another introduced me to the President of the United States.

A Texas multibillionaire called me and coached me. The president of a global brick and mortar retailer coached me and had the corporate sales and marketing VP meet me with an offer. I love being 'just an artist!' I'm no threat to anyone."

"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 painting in Spain.

I always have the very best of the very best teachers and supporters."

PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN ME

"Four-star Tommy Franks, USA (Ret.) penned the foreword

to my first book, Ode to Joy. inspired by Beethoven's Ninth.

Four-star General Franks sat on the Board of Trustees of

the National Park Foundation with Mr. David Rockefeller.

GEN Franks commanded a 25-country region (AOR).

GEN Franks was awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the United States Department of Defense's highest non-combat related military award,

AND,

GEN Franks was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom

AND,

GEN Franks was knighted by Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II,

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 First Served as a Private" - The Four-star general explained, "I just want to help."

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

fingers, and to decorate interiors with pleasing sophistication.

She showed me Albrecht Dürer's Young Hare, Praying Hands, and Large Piece of Turf. She set the bar very high --- Outstanding! She pushed me to do better.

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

Alcaraz told me, "Paint flowers to keep your wrists loose."

That's how I peel back their petals so sensitively

and penetrate her so very deeply!

My fingers caress details few ever stimulate.

The brilliant prodigy Alcaraz taught me to see and render the beauty I saw

in landscapes, botanicals, and more. Every iconic artist first learned the time-honored tradition of drawing, later, explored and inadvertently set fashionable household trends known to all. It's a jump few will ever make, yet all are inspired.

BUT, 99.999% of people tremble seeing their own common shadow.

I cleaned my brush in a stem of red wine, swatted with my toothbrush,

raked my Holy Land calendar series with gritty sandpaper, ...

I do it my way, leading and following as I go.

Elon Musk extolled: "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor," and, "I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself," and, "I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side," and, "I say something, and then it usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens."

"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."

🎖️ 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. 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.

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 just wanted to say, 'Thank you!' "

Carroll's first 4 Limited Editions were given as surprise gifts

through Texas hospital volunteers to their hospitalized patients:

The CEOs, Development, PR and media did not know.

"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 at the Fair Park station.

I just wanted to say, 'Thank you!'

My first book, 'Ode to Joy,' Beethoven's choral Symphony No. 9

in D minor, Op. 125."

"I am assembling an inspirational coloring book-like-journal with prelim drawings,

some I painted, others are brand new.

► It will help stimulate scientific interest,

educate people about biodiversity and

wildlife ecology, and sustainable tourism.

Another will be, 'Blue Skies Notebook,' the

poems and stories behind my paintings."

SIDEBAR

[Former First Lady Nancy Reagan sent Carroll a handwritten letter

declining because her husband was too ill to pen the foreword. President Reagan had already agreed to write the Foreword. With the direction of a Knights of Malta Priori Knight Commander, and The Reagan's approval, Carroll sent his first draft to The Reagan's ranch home. The276 page book had 10 pages of high-level testimonials and 200 paintings.]

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.

---------- LOOK 👀 FAMILY HISTORY ----------

Carroll was born at CHOP, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia,

and grew up in rural Chester Springs - 28 miles west of Philadelphia, PA

in a ca. 1751 King George manor built by Griffith Jones.

His doctor dad (a banker's oldest child) was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

He collected historic homes, Period furniture, trees and plants.

Every day, the artist's professorial dad enjoyed an exquisitely carved meerschaum pipe gifted to him by a Persian (فارسی) doctor as he drove his fast red sports car.

His doctor mom was a doctor's daughter from Mount Vernon, South Dakota.

She loved her grandchildren, fluffy cats, old books, and traveled internationally to add to her birder's Life List --- She boated the Amazon River from Quito.

Virginia Jane Smiley, ΦΒΚ, was a 1st generation freckled Irish lady, an Upper Midwest prairie girl who loved her buckskin horse. They were married 60 years.

Wealth speaks softly. Money is garrulous, vociferous. Burgoon's whispered.

The artist Carroll was their quiet 2nd child.

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 and an artist!
