Unfinished Sketches

Jon Pennington Spring 2013

The Villa at 40!

“Unfinished Sketches� is a collection of sketches and diagrams from my Spring 2013 Travels in Europe. Included in this collection are sketches from Italian cities such as Genoa, Florence, Rome, and the Veneto area, as well as sketches from my travel to Budapest.

The title of this book refers to the idea that nothing is ever finished, not even a piece of art. There is always something more that could be done. By leaving a sketch unfinished, it allows the imagination to fill in the details that aren’t present and would otherwise be presented through a picture. A sketch should be an interpretation of a mind, not a simple pictorial representation.

Through these unfinished sketches I hope to give the experience of my own travels while allowing the viewers of these sketches to imagine the unfinished details and have an experience of their own.
