At The River Landing 
Currently involved in a multi-year project he calls “Cumberland River – An American Legacy,” Larry is gathering on-site research from Harlan, Kentucky down through Tennessee and back to where the almost 700 mile long waterway meets the Ohio River near Smithland, Kentucky.  He is presenting the paintings in a series of solo shows in both states.  “I hope to instill an appreciation of the riparian environment and local history of these life-giving waters.” He finished the first phase of this project in the summer of 2016 and is considering a book of his travels including paintings and photographs.

Take a moment to view these collectible river paintings in the Cumberland River Gallery and Larry's additional artwork in his Corner Store Gallery.

"Wave Rider"
Wave Rider was created from visits to the Florida coast just south of St. Augustine. On the right morning, the surf is up and magnificent waves pound the shore. This lone brown pelican sails effortlessly in the trough of two waves. Marineland, which sits just 300 yards to the north, is where the TV series, Sea Hunt with actor Lloyd Bridges, was filmed.  The original is 12x24. A very limited edition of only five canvas prints were produced, FOUR are available.

"Kentucky Lake-Summer Evening"
Kentucky Lake is one of those special places with memories from childhood, like Camp Curry on Jonathan Creek embayment. This lake is where I learned to water ski.  At least one Sunday afternoon each year, a church picnic was held here. In this scene, rain clouds move over the big water and a flock of geese scurry to find shelter for the night. All is calm as the storm approaches. 
Picture"Hidden Lagoon"
A secluded pool just out of sight beckons to the infrequent visitor to stay a while. All is quiet until something breaks the surface. The Hidden Lagoon comes alive with anticipation --what was it? Anxious eyes wait for the next movement. This scene was a result of a visit to Winter Haven (FL) last winter where a chain of lakes interconnect for a leisurely boat ride through the lush vegetation that borders the waterway. With a little artistic license, it becomes the Hidden Lagoon, a 16x20 oil on canvas.

 Picture"Flower Bed"
For several springs, I have driven by this scene, which made me smile.  I captured the daffodil flower bed interlopers on camera and have finally gotten around to putting the scene on a 12" x 24" canvas.  I framed it in barnwood, of course.

Guests at the Crossville reception in January hear how these two scenes of Grassy Cove evolved. Unfortunately, my son Rob standing behind me, died unexpectedly two weeks later. I treasure that evening.
A project in motion for sure, here are two oil "sketches" that I have completed. They will serve as guides for two larger pieces. These are views of Clarksville (TN), which is where I live and it is also the second largest city on the Cumberland River. So when finished, these scenes will become part of the river series I started a few years ago.
