Acrylic on canvas, 91 × 152 cm (36 × 60 in)
This painting captures a moment of cinematic stillness in a place once filled with workers and students winding down after a long day. At first glance, it feels like a photograph of the Blue Diner—but the careful brushwork and warm, nostalgic tones reveal a different kind of memory. Based on a snapshot taken after a night out, the painting channels the spirit of a place that served Boston’s after-hours crowd for generations. Coffee cups, ketchup bottles, and half-eaten plates tell the story of a diner where time paused, great conversations were held, and new friendships were made.
