Maid-Rite Memories


Maid-Rite Memories
20" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Oil Painting
Maid-Rite is midwestern burger joint...and there once was a Maid-Rite on the main street in my hometown of Macomb, Illinois.  Several years ago John and I were visiting Macomb, and I took photos of the old building.  It was in bad shape, with broken glass, pealing paint, holes in the roof --- and has been demolished.  It had a lot of character, and everyone who has ever eaten at the Maid-Rite has those memories.  I wanted to capture the hometown feel of walking down Jackson Street looking up at the EAT sign.  This original oil painting is dry, ready for a new home.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting!  Have an artful day...KMW
