PAINTING DONATED Larry has dedicated the Cumberland River series to his son Rob, who passed away unexpectedly in February at the young age of 42. Their last meeting was in Crossville (TN) at Larry’s art show at the Cumberland County Library in January. As a memorial, the painting titled, “ Grassy Cove c.1776 ,” was donated to the library’s permanent collection. Grassy Cove is a local unique geologic feature and the scene depicts a young longhunter and his dog surveying the valley, looking toward the Smoky Mountains. Shown here is Larry and Wayne Schobel, accepting the painting for the library. Wave Rider limited prints – This captivating marine scene is one of the few reproductions of Larry’s artwork. There were five high-quality prints-on-canvas produced, signed and numbered 1-5. Number 1 is sold so only 2-5 are remaining. Priced without frame $250, framed $350. Many of Larry’s oil canvases are “commissioned” by a person who wants a specific scene painted. In some cases, it’s a favorite landscape, a vacation sunset or something of historical significance. Mark Carter (right) asked Larry to paint a dream scene of his father, Ed (left) and to include his young son, Garrett, and grandfather (now deceased), who had never met his grandson. All four were pictured fishing on the Little River at Walland, Tennessee. The painting is titled Little River Reunion. Contact us if you want to explore your idea. Brass & Bluster. A historical reenactment at Johnsonville State Park on Kentucky Lake was inspiration for Brass & Bluster . Not long ago, an art show critic said this about the Civil War scene: “I love the way this painting is handled. For me, the biggest thing that I noticed was what a beautiful abstract painting it is, whether the artist intended it or not. What the artist did with the gun smoke, the flow, and the shape to the lower right (which is ground) and the shape on top (trees); you can turn it upside down, four ways and it will work as a painting. Fantastic!” Amazing Grace is a 12x24 oil showing a Celtic bagpiper in full regalia leading the march. This is an unframed piece known as “wrapped canvas,” that is, the canvas' frame is thick, the sides are also painted and it is ready to hang. It can also be framed if the buyer so desires. You can almost hear the drone of the pipes across the glen. Clarksville Arts & Heritage Development Council’s 2020 Calendar has included Larry’s Road, Rail and River , depicting the railroad bridge crossing the Cumberland River and Riverside Drive in Clarksville. Look for it as the calendar artwork for January. Calendars may be purchased for $10 at Clarksville's Customs House Museum: http://customshousemuseum.org/ Western North Carolina is a historical treasure trove of early settlement and westward expansion. Many small towns still retain their bucolic heritage and some of it is captured in paintings. While with friends at Sugar Mountain, we visited a small museum at Blowing Rock with its bronze statue of a noted plein air painter, Elliott Daingerfield (1859-1932). Perhaps Larry is taking a lesson from the famous painter. Watch for future mountain scenes of the NC Appalachians. Another book on art is being discussed with a fellow artist, who is well-known nationwide and highly respected among his peers, as well as collectors of fine art. Watch for further details.
