Venezia Italian Ristorante in Del City

We call strip shopping center restaurants "hole in the wall" places...kind of a tribute to cowboy bandits who'd have off the beaten path (hole in the canyon wall) hideouts. They are a little hard to find, but because a restaurant leases in a strip center they can offer an affordable meal because they aren't paying a fortune in overhead. I assume that Venezia Italian Ristorante falls perfectly in that category.

We've been looking for such a place for several months. We love comfort food at a decent price. Who wants to pay $50 for lunch anyway? $10-15 per person is much more reasonable, especially if the place is good. We liked Venezia. 
Try it out. Just north of I-40 on Sooner Road in Del City.

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.
