Painted in the classic medium of oil, this artwork captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting viewers to step into a scene reminiscent of mid-century America.

The meticulous attention to detail brings the diner to life, from the gleaming chrome accents to the intricate signage that proudly announces its name.
Adding to the charm of the scene is a classic electric horse and car toy stationed in front of the diner, evoking memories of childhood innocence and simpler times. The toy serves as a playful reminder of the era's fascination with Americana and the joy found in the simplest pleasures.
Mánlapaz's mastery of realism is evident in every brushstroke, as the scene comes alive with vivid color and depth. The color scheme, dominated by shades of blue, yellow, and green, further enhances the nostalgic ambiance, transporting viewers to a time of diners, neon lights, and bustling city streets.

Artist biography:
Joey P. Mánlapaz (MFA, George Washington University) is a contemporary realist painter, avid educator, compassionate art provider for the older community, noted curator and juror all rolled into one. She lives and works in Washington, DC, the main subject of her canvases, which are widely recognized and collected, most notably by the nation’s capital that owns 43 paintings and prints. The artist is recipient of commissions, grants, and fellowships in support of her work. The U.S. Library of Congress and First Lady Laura Bush commissioned the artist for the coveted 2003 National Book Festival. Her paintings have been shown at nationwide galleries and museums. Her papers, correspondence and sketchbooks are in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress Asian American and Pacific Islander Division. A replica of her painting is installed permanently at the Bethesda Metro Tunnel in Maryland. Mánlapaz’s ongoing fascination for and concentration on the city of Washington as subject matter was influenced by the late painter Frank Wright, her mentor renowned for his depictions of 18th-19th century architecture of downtown DC. In her realist renditions, she examines the relationship between the factual photorealism of Richard Estes and the deep psychological sensibility of Edward Hopper, and attempts to bridge the two concepts to achieve a painterly style with a generous dose of Alfred Hitchcock’s suspenseful thrill. The artist is Associate Faculty at the Corcoran School of Art & Design at George Washington University and lecturer at The Art League (VA).
