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.

Tents

Reception: Friday June 29, 5-9 PM.
Please join us for “Tents,” a collection of my paintings of fumigation tented buildings from 2017-2018. This is the first time I’ve shown such a large group of pictures from this series.

Termite Tent, South Park

Painted on location in South Park, San Diego. Part of a courtyard apartment complex was tented, but not all of it.

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.”

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

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.
