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
Sunset Over Roan Mountain. We saw this scene each evening last fall, looking westward from Sugar Mountain (NC) toward Tennessee, thanks to long-time friends, Bill and Connie Clark. This is an oil on linen and measures 18x24 inches plus frame. That's Tennessee's Roan Mountain in the distance, standing at 6,285 ft.
"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.
Grassy Cove c.1776 was recently donated to the Cumberland County Library (TN) in memory of Larry's son Rob (1976-2019). Accepting the painting is Wayne Schobel. The scene depicts a young longhunter and his dog, overlooking Grassy Cove near Crossville as it may have appeared in 1776, two hundred years before Rob's birth. “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.” Norman Maclean
Mark Carter (rt) is shown with his son Garrett and father, Ed Carter, proudly displaying Little River Memory, a commission painting depicting his grandfather, father and son. His grandfather is deceased and had never met his grandson Garrett. The painting is a birthday gift to Ed.

Yellow Creek Dawn, 3rd place winner in landscape photography contest at Downtown Gallery in Clarksville. Landscape was the largest category, so this did well. The price is $65 framed-matted, image is 5x7" and may be purchased at the gallery. The show will be on view until the end of February.
Andrew Schmidt of Clarksville Jewelers commissioned me to do a painting on something unique - a damaged propeller from his air boat. This scene is a Florida sunset that reminded him of a successful fishing trip.
Storm Over Queen City is a view of Clarksville from the bridge at Cunningham (TN). It is the latest addition 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.
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.
