FLW Roadtrip

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
