Aftermath of a dinner party

For my thesis painting I have stretched a ten foot by five foot canvas.  On the canvas I have an idea that I want to paint the interior of a home after it has been ravaged by guests after a night of merriment.  I am still uncertain if I will be incorporating the figure or referencing the figure through objects and view point.  The works below are paintings that I have looked at that that have inspired me to create a painting of what the setting looks like after all the figures dissipate from it.

Edvard Munch, At The Dinner Table

 Lucien Adrion, The Dinner of Artists Making up by Monsieur and Madame Paul Petrides
 Augustus Renoir, Luncheon off the Boating Party
Jules Alexandre Grun, The End of Dinner

Figure or references to a figure?

Struggling with whether I should keep the figures in my work or if I should take them out.  Below is my first attempt at a painting with not figure…
