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

OG&E Building Rainy Morning

Image
This image, OG&E Building Rainy Morning, is a favorite of mine. I created this in the first week of living in OKC. It was so exciting. It was one of those sleepless mornings. I got up early on a Sunday when no one was around. The city was sleeping it off from Saturday night. The sightseeing was inspiring. This is a approximately a 20x30 ink on linen on a wood frame. It is already set to hang. If you want it, you can hang it immediately. I'm selling it at $1299. and would be cool art for the office. Heck, if you work at OG&E, it would be tax deductible! As an update, I've transferred the image to a sheet of buffed aluminum and added a hanging mechanism so it can hang on the office wall. It looks great! contact me at Jim@JimRode.com #fridaynightart  See more at Friday Night Art . OG&E Building Rainy Morning

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.

Lucile's Gas Station on Route 66

Image
On historic Route 66, "the Motherhood" across America, stands Lucille's Station. It is in Hydro about 7 miles east of Weatherford, Oklahoma. It opened in 1941 and the family lived upstairs. Late night travelers could honk the horn and someone would come down to fill the tank. (Remember when the attendant did all the work?) Early highway travel on the first highways was a tremendous upgrade from the dirt, gravel and wagon-rut byways of early America. Route 66 helped build the travel industry as gas stations grew along the way to feed and fuel the traveler. Motor hotels (motels) were created by enterprising people to give the weary a place to rest.  In parts of Oklahoma, some of the original road and bridges still exists and are passable alongside of the major Interstate Highway.
