Robert Gould Shaw Memorial

I was just blown away by the fantastic Augustus Saint-Gauden's memorial to Robert Gould Shaw at the National Memorial of art!

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.

Yukon's Best Flour - Oklahoma Mill

Image
Yukon's Best is a flour mill in Yukon Oklahoma. It dominates the street near the main drag in old downtown. Grain mills like this once anchored small towns in farming communities. Grains could be brought to the mills and stored before rail road transit to the big cities. Their existence allowed community growth. 20x30 ink on metal. $799 plus shipping.

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.
