San Francisco Cityscape in Oil

Very Nice!

I want to appreciate those of you who had the integrity to vote fairly and kindly in the challenge. I am taking a 10-day break in this room because I am depressed at the sheer amount of downvoting.

While I am taking a break, please ask yourself if you have the kindness and fairness to follow a simple rule. No well-crafted, on-theme image deserves a vote of less than 3.

In my challenges, I reject all off-theme submissions. So anything in the challenge is on-theme.

You don't have to agree with me on this issue, but it is my room and when you submit an entry you are agreeing to follow the rules of the challenge.

If you can't follow this rule, I wish you well, but please have the integrity not to participate in my challenges.

This used to be my favorite of the 9 challenge rooms I run, but as of now I do not have the heart to continue running challenges here. I hope I feel different in 10 days.
