I try to offer a variety of subjects on my Different Strokes From Different Folks challenges - the most current being the multi-level, multi-colored rooftops of downtown San Francisco. It is truly a subject that I'm in love with - mostly from witnessing how other artists transform 'just a bunch of buildings' into beautiful works of art. As I said on my blog, when I see city rooftops I understand Richard Diebenkorn. It's also an image that can swing from totally abstract to super realism - and I'd love them all. When you have a minute, take a look at what other artists have contributed.

Wow.
I love the bits of turquoise paired with the washed out yellow. I see your love for Hopper in this piece. Thanks for sharing!
Karin, I love how your piece came out. I only hope mine gives someone else hope for their abilities this time around. Mine were sorely lacking, even for me. At any rate, this looks fabulous!
It's fabulous. Although I am a realist painter, the thrill of recognizing great abstract design never leaves me.
I recently shot a bunch of rooftops from the parking garage of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Initially I was bummed out because I had to park on the top level BUT, it turned out to be a wonderful view and I was up there shooting photos for 45 minutes :D
Your paintings stop me in my tracks every time!
Great Colors and composition.
Phil
