Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater

Whenever I travel with friends or family, I always feel guilty about sketching! It takes a while for my scribbles to resemble anything, and there’s also the problem that the longer I draw the better I know it’ll be. I always imagine that the perfect travel buddy would be someone who writes songs, does timelapses or counts rocks at scenic lookouts -  any time-consuming travel habit will do =) 

My solution now is just to get there early, so this is as far as I got before friends showed up. After this came the tour of Fallingwater’s interior.  It’s great to see the horizontal theme of all those cantilevers repeated inside - even throughout the furniture and paintings! If you’ve been there, keep an eye out for a Diego Rivera painting that fits the horizontals =)  I was also happy to spot some original Audubon, Hiroshige and Hokusai pieces. That family had some good taste in art.
