Friday Night Lights in America

A passion in the South (and across the nation) is High School football. Often referred to as "Friday Night Lights", from the book by H. G. Bissinger, the night is set for football. In agreement with college and pro sports, Friday is traditionally reserved for high school sports.

The crowds come out to watch two schools battle. School prestige is on the line. The pageantry of cheer, drill and band add to the spectacle.

This is a $979, 20x20 piece of ink on canvas depicting football players from Euless Trinity Texas. Also available at $1099 ink on buffed aluminum ready to hang. #fridaynightart #eulesstrinitytrojans

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.
