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 constantly adding paintings to the collection. Scenes captured like the ones in the photos below provide inspiration.

This past 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.

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.

Homemade is made from nostalgia. Some of these old decoys are on a shelf in my studio and were the center point for an idea to paint several retired, hand-whittled blocks of wood that once wobbled in the prized hunting spot of a seasoned waterfowler. The antique Peters shellbox could have witnessed the anchor cords being wrapped in place after the last hunt. Memories! See price and size in Gallery 2.

Lady of the Lake
The doe whitetail deer materialized on the edge of the lake while I glanced away. The name too sprang out of the water like Excalibur. It was a magical moment. The oil painting is 8x10 and is shown in Gallery 2.

Last fall I helped select Tennessee's winner for the Federal Junior Duck Stamp image painted by school children. This was my third time being a judge for this contest. In 2021, I was on the panel to select the Federal Duck Stamp.
