Marc…MacDonald’s also renovated the one near Michael’s old place in ABQ. Know what you mean about the totally different (and unwelcoming) feeling. Like McDonald’s does not want you to be too comfortable. It is also smaller. Nice job capturing the new “squeezed” feel there. Also here! Joe

Wow, this is beautiful. It’s so even and the lighting is so subtle. I love it! I think Grady’s “serenely ghastly” is on spot.

Wow, they made it look almost like an office, which is weird.
Just noticing how the room is made up of lines, and the people are curves, and those round lights above and round bar stools kind of even the score on circles vs lines….I don’t why I notice things like that….anyway, great painting Marc!

I agree excellent wood panels and composition..and the sterileness of it all…

I agree with Scott on the face cutoff -a harsh and wonderful statement about our growing public anonymity. But I love the multiple use of rectangles throughout the piece – empty, serenely ghastly.

Your figures are everyone and no one -making it easy for me to slip into their environment. I always feel like I’m viewing a dream while dreaming when looking at your work. Perfect “wood” color match!

Oh, I like this. The cut off face is great. Nice metaphor.
I don’t get a McD’s vibe until I get back to the counter. The rest looks even cheesier than most McDs… those circular ceiling decorations, the wood paneling.
