This is my submission for Karin Jurick's latest DSFDF challenge. Click here to follow along as she posts the works of other artists and here to read about her project and my previous entries. I never thought I'd paint rooftops (thank you, Karin!) and struggled with color choices. Karin had advised to treat the shapes abstractly. Then I remembered receiving Pantone's Spring 2010 Fashion Color Report -- click here to read more about that. These colors have such great names: Fusion Coral, Eucalyptus, Pink Champagne, Dried Herb, Tuscany, Aurora. I chickened out before adding Tomato Puree and Lilac to the painting... and now I wish I had. I have a twisted sister who always says, "in hesitation all is lost." I might go back and add them. Thanks for looking!

I'll keep you company humming that tune!
Beautiful painting of the Rooftops.
Came here just to rave about your color choices -- more SoCal than NoCal -- and then I find your entry is all about color ... Trust me, no evidence of any color struggle here: first-rate.
Love the colors, nice work!
Okay, so now I have that song in my head! You've done a fantastic painting - the buildings are washed in beautiful color and sunlight. Great work!
Pantone was a great inspiration for this challenge. Love your painting.
