The Carrolls of eighteenth century Maryland were representative of aristocratic blood in Ireland ... the name 'Carroll' was probably Americanized from O'Carroll ... three leading Carroll families settled in Maryland ... the third line of Carrolls was that of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Representative of this line are Daniel Carroll I (1696-1751), the first settler; Daniel Carroll II (1730-1796), the statesman and signer of the Constitution; and John Carroll (1735-1815), first Archbishop of Baltimore.

A thousand words, a single picture... Since artists are often called upon to turn prose into a visual for such things as book covers, I wondered, would writers be able to pick up the creative torch and run in the opposite direction? I had little doubts they could and it got me excited wondering what they would come up with for my own pastel paintings. So with that it mind I though it would be fun to launch a contest and invite friends, fans of my art, amateur scribes, professionals writers, really anyone who wanted, to pick a painting from my body of work and build a short story around it. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I wanted to find out if that was true.
