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

Picture
"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. A very limited edition of only five canvas prints were produced, only FOUR are still available.

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 looked in 1776.
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." — Michelangelo
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.

A ​Lord of the Marsh is a recently completed 12x36" oil on wrapped canvas (no frame required). The design is simple but making the subtle gradation from yellow to orange took some time. Everything except the great blue heron was accomplished with a 3" hog bristle brush.
 Picture"Flower Bed"
For several springs, I have driven by this scene, which made me smile.  I captured the daffodil flower bed interlopers on camera and have finally gotten around to putting the scene on a 12" x 24" canvas.  I framed it in barnwood, of course.
