Fish rail

I am new to this site and just getting the hang of things here... This is a rail I built a few years ago. Galvanized steel salmon. I painted the fish in the background to add depth and did the same on the reverse...

Welcome to ArtMetal, Jim! I

Welcome to ArtMetal, Jim! I like that railing - what you did with the paint was very clever. It adds alot of depth and visual interest in a very simple and effective way. I'd like to see more of that sort of thinking in metal working. Good job!

Hi Jim and welcome to

Hi Jim and welcome to Artmetal. I like the railing a lot, definitely one of the more unique methods I've seen. I agree with Rich about the use of the darker paint, I'll have to remember that trick. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Jake,

During my short time here I have become a fan of both you and Rich. I appreciate your hospitality and, as mentioned in my response to Rich, I find it very encouraging.

Thanks, Jim
