"Tree" Fence Mural, Artist: Unknown, McCoppin and Gough Streets, San Francisco, California
Image

The mural covering a construction fence featured a diagonal design. The nearest section of fence had blue lines suggesting this panel too will be painted someday. At the far end, around a corner, the fence continued as painted windows behind a planter box. The design was created by sliding colored strips into a cyclone fence. Beyond the design on the fence, was a mural of a tree that occupied a full wall. The design around the corner was composed of mostly painted lines on plywood. Where the cyclone fence did not meet the sidewalk, colored lines were painted to extend the design downward. The design continued downhill and wrapped around the corner.
