It appears Andrew's sons used the unfinished painting as a train layout. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/wyeth.html?c=y&page=3

One of his paintings, entitled "Soaring," is at the Shelbourne Museum in Vermont (where I understand there is an S-scale layout, which somehow I missed in my visit there). The 1942 tempera painting depicts birds encircling a house far below. It is said to represent the aerial attacks on civilian areas that were occurring in Europe at the time. Andrew's father, the artist N C Wyeth, didn't think much of his son's effort. Instead, he flipped over the 48" x 87" work and used it as a model train layout. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
