Knot Board

This is the largest of a series of knot boards I made several years ago. It's 18"x24". I also made some 12"x18" and 9"x12". In the backgeound is a copy of a charcoal portrait my Dad did in 1931. It is of my Great Grandfather, Solomon. Dad used this study for his final piece for his Art Degree from Yale University, Class of '31. The painting was "The Prodigal Son's Return", although bearded, this was the father's face.
