Description
Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
This is a familiar portrait of the great Renaissance Man, The original is a self-portrait in red chalk done around 1512-15, but this particular version was drawn by my dad, George Wood. (Dad's drawing is also in a rust color chalk, but I have reworked it in Photoshop to give it this appearance.) Da Vinci is famous as an architect, painter, poet, scientist, and mathematician and who also boasted of his skill as a horseman and in physical feats. His gifts gave the world gifts in the fields of art, science, music, invention, and writing.
I'm not really sure why Dad drew this portrait. I think maybe he felt a bond with this man because dad was in many ways similar. First though, my dad was a man of deep faith and great love for his wife and family, which I do not know about Leonardo. But, dad was an artist, was a beautiful singer, he acted in plays, he taught radar in the army and could build or fix just about anything. He loved golfing and shooting pool. He loved children, animals, nature, and strangers (strangers didn't stay strangers for very long!) He was generous and he and mom did countless acts of helping others throughout their beautiful life together. So, this is yet another treasure from the gifted kind hands of my dear dad.

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
