Description
This is a polar abstraction of the roof over the central courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC. It reminds me of some of the graphic works of M.C. Escher.

Great work, Gary! Inventive composition and design. v/f

This was actually a carefully arranged use of PS4 polar coordinates on a photo of a really interesting plexiglass roof in Washington, DC. I had to carefully crop and rotate the grid to form the nearly continuous spirals at the junction, and then cartoonized it with addition of color.
