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 remember taking photographs of this building and I am so glad that I did, since it is nothing more than an empty grassy lot. I wanted to capture the hometown feel of walking down Jackson Street looking up at the EAT sign. This original oil painting is framed up and hanging in our kitchen. It is available for purchase. Contact Kay for more info on this painting! Have an artful day...KMW
