Oklahoma City From the Bridge

Oklahoma City From the Bridge was from an early discovery ride with Sylvia after we moved to town. The city skyline came into view and within a few hundred feet I had the car stopped to take it in. I loved how the color of the Classen Building (Devon Energy Center) mimicked the colors of the sky, and the foreground was the earth (or at least it's color).

I use the iPhone image of the OKC skyline as a study before making the art. I moved the media to ink applied to canvas. I think it would be strong in a aluminum sheet (haven't done that one yet.).

This is a 20x30 ink on canvas at $1299. Good look for your wall behind your desk! I had a very boring wall in my new place. This really changed everything! The minute I walk into the room a smile hits me!

Oklahoma City From the Bridge
This ink on metal of the Oklahoma City skyline was inspired by my iPhone capture of OKC in morning light. 
The process includes heating the ink at 400ยบ to infuse it into the metal. A beautiful piece for the wall of your office.
Location: Oklahoma City, OK, USA

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.

Venezia Italian Ristorante in Del City

Image
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.
