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.

Larry's Latest
Dunbar Cave Canadas, 12x24 oil, is the latest addition to the Cumberland River series. The cave overlooks Swan Lake which is part of Dunbar Cave State Park located in Montgomery County, just east of downtown Clarksville (TN). Dunbar Cave hosted grand parties and concerts in the 20th Century and included country music legend Roy Acuff, who owned the property and popular big bands of Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. Canada geese can be seen year-round on the 15 acre lake.
"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 (for price go to Corner Store Gallery). A very limited edition of only five canvas prints were produced.
Sentinels is a brush/palette knife rendering done during the viral epidemic of 2020. The scene is light-hearted and meant to be an outdoor memory for all who have walked the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. The gulls are always looking for fish and often are sentinels for fishermen. |
Room For One More - Canada geese are a common site throughout much of this country. They have adapted well and seem to prefer the climate "down South." Many are permanent residents. This 8x10 oil sketch was a scene along the lakeside trail at Dunbar Cave State Park near my home. The swimming goose is about to board the floating log honking "move over!" Go to the Corner Store Gallery for ordering information.

Silhoutte -Christmas Eve, 2019 was an unusual sunset. The sunset was spectacular and I have rendered an oil study for future reference for a larger piece. This scene was from my back door.
Storm Over Queen City is a view of Clarksville from the bridge at Cunningham (TN). It is one of the latest additions to the Cumberland River series. In the distance, rain is falling as the squall moves eastward and begins to subside. The barge is heading upriver toward Nashville. This is a 12x24 oil on canvas.
