Finished this one early yesterday morning. The lightness of the bricks on the left is thanks to a pen that didnt want to work. This house has a ton of trees. Infact, I took aout a major bush that hid most of the patio and door and another oak that was in front of the veritcal windows on the left. I am happy in the result of this one.

Here is an interesting website. It works slow though and makes you want to go buy a real house planner program. The information and quotes are kind of neat. Gives alittle insite to what how FLW thought
and what the process is.

I am happy to say that I finished the contempory house. For some reason it took way too long. Problem pens and just trying to do too much is the reason actually.

The next drawing is already on the board. A brick duplex that faces NE. Mostly garage from that view but if you are on the bike trail that runs behind you can see how it opens up.

I get to play single parent for a bit so I'm hoping it doesnt take too much drawing time.

Later,

FLW Roadtrip

As I was looking at FLW buildings in Racine, Wisconsin I remembered that I had this site saved. If any one wanted to research select buildings this site is a good place to start. I am excited with the prospect of seeing the S. C. Johnson building this June. There is a Sea Scout event in Racine and I immediately thought of the couple buildings that are there. The photography on this site is very good. They truly capture both interiors and exteriors. I see he recently added the Museum of the American Indian on the Mall in Washington DC too. I too have pictures but was limited with lenses that day. Something to do on the next trip in DC.

Speaking of Washington DC, on of my favorite cities...... everything I could ask for with its art, architecture, history and government all in walking distance. My eyes were popping and my brain whirling the first visit. Wow!! Everything that I had read about and seen pictures of for years right there in front of me. Details to follow on another day.

For the moment though, I am working on a contempory house that is about 2 miles east of me. Set back from the street and hidden by trees. It faces south but I am drawing it from the west and deleted a huge tree. I got a new .18 tech pen the other day. It seems as thought they only lasted a month. Last year I had a pen that lasted most of the fall. Hopefully I can finish it this week as I need to move on to my next commission.

I am getting my comission calendar firmed up for the rest of the year. If I dont procrastinate too much it should all work out just fine.

Working part time at junior high works well as it leaves some nice chucks of time to draw or run out and take reference pictures or whatever. They are already talking about the fall schedule for next year. It will all work out probably at the last minute. But thats the way it is working for school. Its all about the numbers.

Till next time. -k
