West End Roof Tops

For  a number of years I have been painting a series of  the roof tops of Provincetown. To me they are the quintessential  Provincetown scene.
Artist's  have been painting this scene for over a hundred years.
With all the trees and buildings there aren't very many views from which to paint it from.
I usually paint this view from my house. I like the scene because of the perspective you are challenged with. You are looking down on the horizon line.
They are like my haystacks, I am always learning something every time I paint them. I try to paint these scenes in different light keys.
This summer I think I will do a grey day painting of the roof tops.
