Found this one by accident one afternoon and it was still up under gray skies the next morning when I had some time to paint.

Termite Tent in Golden Hill
I painted this sometime last spring before I got sick. (Healthy now!)
Termite Tent, South Park
Termite Tent, Banker’s Hill, San Diego
When I was working on this one, a worker from the fumigation company came over and asked if I was “that guy from Instagram who paints the tents.”
Termite Tent, Normal Heights
Painted on Adams Avenue in Normal Heights.
Termite Tent, North Park
Before moving to San Diego, I don’t think I’d seen any buildings in fumigation tents. Like trolley and telephone wires crossing the sky, dumpsters in alleys, and trash cans lined up like soldiers for inspection, I think they add a really exciting decorative element to the urban landscape.
This is an older piece, probably from 2013. for sale

Termite Tent at Night – buy now
This older painting is still one of my favorites. What I love about it is the way the building glows inside the termite tent- they left on the floodlights and in some of the apartments. (I thought you were supposed to cut off the power before tenting, but I’m no expert). And it always takes me back to that cool, wet-smelling night with a marine layer overhead.
Here’s a link to the rest of this series of termite tent paintings. It’s a subject that always draws me back.
