Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) I have to admit that this place has seen better days, in an era now gone by. But back in the day, I bet this little diner's jukebox was playing the latest hits for some hungry travelers. They called it " The Mother Road " and many people drove this famous highway that linked Chicago to southern California. Although the major interstate highways replaced it long ago, you can still find sections of it remaining with some of the nostalgic gas stations, hotels, attractions and diners that made it so popular. So one day in my travels across America somewhere in New Mexico, I started to get hungry and thought about stepping back into time at a old-fashioned diner for a big juicy hamburger, a cold drink and some fires smothered in ketchup. But as I drove up to an empty parking lot at the Red Top Diner the sign on the door said the employees were all... Out to Lunch On Route 66.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
