Friday Night Art - Artist Jim Rode

I call this State Capitol 5 a.m. I shot it from my car using my iPhone. Once I captured the scene, I converted it to inks, based upon the pixels of the what the phone captured. The fragile nature of the image (with the phone pushed to the limit in the darkness) meant that I had a fabulous sky. It reminds me of Starry Night by Van Gough. I have used inks on canvas to create this piece 24x30 on archival linen and ready to hang. It is $999 and available through me at Jim@JimRode.com #fridaynightart  A new version has been created using inks baked into a sheet of aluminum. $1299 Oklahoma Capitol 5 a.m.

I call this "Night Ghosts - Nashville". I know this city has its Ghosts, I may have captured one streaking through. While visiting Nashville, I used my iPhone to get a shot of this Catholic Church at dusk. Artifacts of light were picked up in the shot on the right side of the image. It seemed spooky...like a ghost passing by in the night.  I worked the shot to bring out the tangles of wires across the dying sky. I left the artifacts alone. I brought the church out of the darkness and colored the streets. This image is available printed on watercolor paper, signed $125, framed $299. Prices subject to change.
