Machine: Odyssey

acrylics (5 x 7 ft)... $5,000
Based on a painting by Raphael

This wall-sized painting is something I'd like to sell (I've had it 38 yrs, time to pass it on), but shipping is impossible, it would have to be trucked to its final location! Maybe someone in the 'Deep South' would like to make an offer? It's edged with lattice for protection and hanging in my living room as you see it, hence the bad lighting. $5000 (or best offer) I have better photos on 35mm slides, which I haven't scanned yet as I don't have a slide scanner. This was created from a drypoint etching

Flying Over Athens

Flying Over Athens

oil pastel
Unframed (shrinkwrapped)...$500

I had a pilot friend that could do aerobatics (stunts), and we'd go flying over Athens, Ga. where we lived. Often friends would say they had seen us above, in the yellow bi-plane, doing stunts over the city. It was great, never felt queasy as centrifugal force makes you always feel upright, its the world that moves around you, under, side, then above! He like to shut the engine down, then kick it on about 500 feet above ground, about as close as you can get - you have one chance from that low. The guy who rented us the plane said "This guy is nuts!"

1969,  pen and ink on paper... $200

These were some homeless guys I would regularly photograph and pay as models. Most lost their jobs, then their wives left them, so their circumstances were not of their own creating. It was during the Nixon years, yet another recession, high oil prices due to an oil embargo, and he implemented wage and price freezes, which just caused prices to skyrocket when lifted. In my lifetime, I can't remember a time of economic prosperity when a Republican was president other than Eisenhower, and even he warned of the "growing power and influence of the military-industrial complex" in his farewell address to the nation.

My first efforts with colored pencils, soft color but not much saturation is possible, but they can create a soft, ethereal effect.

This was an Italian postcard I found in the attic that was sent to a relative in the 1920's, which was a hand tinted black and white photo; great colors I thought.

He shot this photo on a ferry to Cozamel; I liked the composition and assortment of colors.
