"3rd St. Diner"


9" x 12" oil on panel

The 3rd St. Diner is a couple of blocks from the Richmond Times-Dispatch downtown facility. Open 24 hours a day, it has served burgers and beers to patrons for many years. It has recently undergone changes inside and out, and, unfortunately, the great old orange awnings (as well as the tattooed waitresses) are now gone.

I ate there after my senior prom. It's a shame they changed the orange! :( Anyway, GREAT painting!

Great little painting of an old Richmond "icon". I live in Richmond and I stumbled on your blog via a web search-- glad I did. I know and recognize many of the places you're painting, and it's great to see another artist's take on such familiar scenes. Looking forward to more posts from you. Keep it up!

Jennifer-

Thanks for your comments. And your work is terrific! And I'm really jeolous of your new studio. I'd love to see it when it's finished.
