The Big Boy

56"x 44" oil on canvas ••• The original "Bob's" was located in Glendale, California—my hometown. It went from being a 10-stool hamburger stand to a drive-in restaurant. I would not say that my family went there on a regular basis, but we went enough to lodge memories of the young waitresses coming out and hanging food trays on the doors of our huge family station wagon. That restaurant is long gone, but the statue in my painting is still out in front of the oldest remaining Bob’s Big Boy in America. It is located in Burbank, California and is still open for business.
