Termite Tent Painting
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.

I normally work on smoother surfaces, but this very coarse canvas was in the back of the car so I gave it a shot. Painting architecture on such a small scale on a highly textured surface isn’t easy, maybe not advisable unless you want it to get very abstract.
Balboa Park Patio, San Diego
This one is from last year. It’s the patio surrounded by the several buildings of the Museum of Man.
While I was painting it in Balboa Park, my sister’s college friend from the East Coast went jogging by. I hadn’t known she lived here. I love coincidences like these.
