Sign Post, Route 66

There is urban America and Rural America. I think there should be a roadside America. This Route 66 sign on a pole near Weatherford Oklahoma is one of my favorite art pieces. I wanted bold colors because so much of history is seen simply in black and white. #fridaynightart #Route66 

I made this a 20x30 inks on metal at $1499. Works well on canvas too for hanging the art in your den or "man cave". For fun, I created an 8x12 ink on watercolor paper at $225 signed. 

That was awesome! I'm thrilled to see it on the wall! Signed of course.

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.
