Grandfather Clause, early 03 ...................... back ... next
Oil on found board
20 x 10"

I've used this character before... did a full length fictional portrait... actually an elder man I saw out a bus window in NYC during one of those 10 day a year trips I used to make to scour the galleries & museums. I used the board for some shelving & when that was no longer useful I found it for painting... then I found the hanger... I guess it's for hanging in a shower or closet door, maybe for towels, soap or possibly ties. Re-visiting the ever seductive gray.
