"I am an artist. I create landscapes and waterscapes that lure my curiosity."

The next showing of Larry's Cumberland River paintings is scheduled for January 2024 in Cadiz, Kentucky at the Janice Mason Art Museum. Watch for further announcements.

Last fall, Larry created 22 scenes featuring birds that occur in the Cumberland River valley. The collection is titled Birds of the Cumberland River.  Watch for more that will be added from time to time.

​Research for new scenes often includes travel, from Canada to Florida to Arizona. Below are photos from a recent trip north of the border.  Several paintings will result from this mid-summer journey.

There are TWO galleries. Take a moment to view the collectible river paintings in the Cumberland River Gallery and Larry's additional artwork in his Corner Store Gallery. Contact us for photos of framed art.

Ospreys Over Apalachicola Bay -This 22x30 oil was inspired by a trip to the "Forgotten Coast" of Florida. The little coastal town of Apalachicola (locals just say Ap or Apalach) is surrounded by a brackish marsh and bay that's famous for its oysters. Crossing the bridge just east of downtown, I was able to stop and take photos of "fish hawks" hunting for lunch. Several other scenes wait to be transferred to canvas. (for pricing, see Gallery 2) 


​
​One of my favorite places to find wildlife and landscape subjects is Land Between The Lakes National Recreational Area (LBL) between Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. These oil paintings are headed to a show this coming January at the Janice Mason Art Museum in nearby Cadiz.
Another one, "Brothers," for the January show, inspired by the bridge at Hemitite Lake, 6x16, oil on board. $400.

​BIRDS OF THE CUMBERLAND RIVER SERIES

See size and price in Gallery 1.
​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 constantly adding paintings to the collection. Scenes captured like the ones in the photos below provide inspiration.
