Refinery in Ponca City

Oil refinery painting by Jim Rode OKC: Captured in Ponca City, Oklahoma
Oil Refinery in Ponca City
Although this inked image is cool on watercolor paper, I also worked this onto a sheet of aluminum. It is spooky cool that way with cotton candy clouds.

In Ponca City, oil is king. The bold colors make this exciting piece for the office or den at home. There is ghosting of the color around the refinery stacks that make them stand out as portrait subjects. I really like that. This art consist of inks baked into a buffed sheet of aluminum, prepared with a coat of white emulsion which makes the colors pop. All the works are UV coated to last 100 years if not in direct sunlight. #PoncaCity #OilRefinery #fridaynightart

Indian Trading Post on Old Route 66

Image
Indian Trading Post billboard on Route 66 near El Reno, Oklahoma. As if stuck in the 1950's, this "Indian" Trading Post sign announces the Native American souvenirs, trinkets and indeed art and artifacts on Route 66 (I-40) near El Reno, Oklahoma. The original image is a photograph before I took the media into an expressionism ink process. I intended it to be an ink on watercolor paper but instead chose to put the art on canvas. It came out cool and hangs in the Man Cave. Jim Rode FridayNightArt.com   Contact me at Jim@JimRode.com for options on acquiring this art piece.

Painting the Valley with Friday Night Art

"The Valley" is laid back and resembles the 50's. It is filled with a fabulous mix of people from Native Texas, Snowbirds to Mexican Americans who have lived the land since the Conquistadors. Family and conversation are the elements of daily life. The land is rich and the Valley provides its fruit and vegetables to America. From wildlife refuge to ocean sands, there is a lot to see. Years of travel to the Valley was once a place to unwind for me. It was a place to slow down and drink the coffee. Eventually, I couldn't help but get to work to capture scenes for Valley life and put them on canvas. This short video showcases the Valley in art on canvas. Contact Jim Rode to inquire about any piece. FridayNightArt.com In recent years, Jim Rode traveled to the Rio Grande Valley and has begun to create Canvas and Metal art of places and people he has seen and photographed.
