The historic church at 1300 N Robinson Ave, Oklahoma City, has stood in this place for more than 100 years. 

The first ink-painting captured a jogger and a car passing by. I like the realism of the street scene. I like the sky the Lord blessed for this image. 

The second inked-painting is more distant. This brought a different look to the sky. It is hard to decide which I like best. I lean towards the first, but I love them both. 

For centuries, in the early light of daybreak, priests, monks, and ministers would begin the day with an early service as a call to prayer and worship. People would gather for prayer and communion. Today, only the very faithful stop in. The only signs of life are joggers and passing cars.
Passing Church By is a 20x30 on canvas on a wood frame. A sister piece on metal is also available.

I came by on an early morning when the sun was rising behind the church. The stronger sun-backlight brought a halo effect which I used when I recreated the media on watercolor paper. The sky became "way-cool" as I say, when I applied inks fused to a sheet of aluminum. I use an 8-ink process. See more below.

This art is created with an ink-emulsion process and baked to a sheet of buffed aluminum at approximately 400º to infuse the art to the metal. The ink-infusion process should last 100 years or more although testing is not sufficient to estimate it's actual lifespan. With care to not display in sunlight, there is little reason to believe it will not last indefinitely. Contact jim@JimRode.com FridayNightArt.com for acquisition and delivery information.
