I was in the middle of working on this in the UGA art studio, when Bill Paul,
director of the Ga Museum of Art, came in - I was sitting in a chair
looking at it, and he asked who did it - I said "I don't know, I was
just admiring it" - he said it was the best painting he'd seen in the
student studio in five years, so I admitted I was José Sinclairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03860067230183443583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778491744617967738.post-78089847972127104262013-03-10T14:48:00.001-07:002013-03-10T14:54:25.874-07:00Machine: Odyssey Drypoint Etching

[Drypoint etching, artist's proof]
A sketch based on a painting by Raphael became this drypoint
etching which in turn became a 5x7 foot wall painting

When I talked to these guys, they had the same story:
Lost their job, the wife left with the kids,
they were now homeless and penniless
This was an era well before "corporate outsourcing"
of American jobs to Asia, and massive layoffs,
short-term profits for long-term destruction
of the nation

This one took a month and remains one of my favorites; it's hung in my living rooms since I painted it in 1972. To me, it represents both the order and chaos in the universe, and how some things may look reasonable but they turn out to be nothing but illusion, and pass. Often when I painted something like this, I had no José Sinclairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03860067230183443583noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778491744617967738.post-41905011954587796852010-01-05T11:47:00.000-08:002013-03-08T17:45:34.360-08:00Wupatki Indian Ruins

Some of the Native American ruins in the southwest were estimated to be cities housing thousands, like Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, which was thought to be a domed city holding 5000 people. This one in Arizona was merely a castle sized building with maybe 30-50 rooms.

New Orleans Levee
watercolor...$1000
I was there for Mardi Gras, and many people camped out along the levee here. The boat in the distance was for people who could afford to take a luxury liner to New Orleans for four days, they slept on the boat. One night it fell below freezing, and the best churches opened their doors for sleeping, so I then slept in the cathedral near Plaza de Armas.

I've never worked with watercolor pens before, maybe because they didn't exist. I thought I'd give them a try and was surprised by the vibrant colors. I started drawing cells from microscopes in botany class in college. The first was pine tree cells, most of the rest were imaginary. I imagine them having an autonomous life, José Sinclairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03860067230183443583noreply@blogger.com1
