Unfinished business

No painting today. Instead I'll propose you sculptures and reading. A Husk of Meaning, the blog of David Leeds, had a piece about an unfinished set of sculptures by Michelangelo known as Unfinished Slaves. I recently stumbled on it and wanted to share it here with you.
Because Unfinished Art is Art too.

Here's the link.

Andrew Wyeth - Ring Road (1985)
According to Wikipedia:
Andrew Newell Wyeth (/ˈw.ɛθ/ wy-eth;[1] July 12, 1917 – January 16, 2009) was a visual artist, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century.
In his art, Wyeth's favorite subjects were the land and people around him, both in his hometown of Chadds FordPennsylvania, and at his summer home in CushingMaine. One of the most well-known images in 20th-century American art is his painting, Christina's World, currently in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
