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
"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.
"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. Summer Evening is on display at Downtown Artist Coop in Clarksville through Aug. 31.

 "August Afternoon At Leatherwood Ford"
August Afternoon At Leatherwood Ford is one of the latest additions to the Cumberland River Series. The scene is on the largest branch of the river, Big South Fork, which originates on the Cumberland Plateau in Scott County (TN) and flows northward with a precipitous drop before emptying into Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. The wild tributary flows through the Big South Fork National Recreation Area. A low-water bridge at Leatherwood was once the only way to ford the river. 
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.
