Ductwork Blues

"Ductwork Blues" 
 4.5x5 oil on Masonite
Carol Horzempa

When I first saw Karin Jurick's posting of her photo of San Francisco rooftops for the DSFDF challenge I was intimidated by the jungle of rooftop ductwork. I'm glad I decided to try the challenge anyway. I found as I got into the painting that the abstract shapes and cast shadow along with pushing the colors kept my interest and was more fun to paint than I expected.

    wow...how did you put all those details and structures into a 5x5? I think I may have been able to fit a window or two. You're amazing. I love it!

    That's a lot of detail for such a little painting! Beautifully done. I love the orange/blue/purple thing too.

    Your 'nerves' produced the most accurate rendering of the ductwork out of all the paintings. Congratulations.
