Fish ...... paintings and metal wall sculptures

I fell in love with these fabulous fish wall sculptures while away at the beach.







They are made by an artist called Michael Gilbert.  He uses metal from old car doors, panels and other interesting bits he comes across.. they have a delicious old patina , rusty, chippy, faded paintwork.. It was so hard to choose which ones would join my little 'school' on the wall. But I eventually settled on these 5 ( out of about 20 I wanted to swim away with :)



Continuing on our 'fishy' theme.. I just found out that the 2 abstract fish paintings I painted recently have just sold ..I guess I was to buy and sell 'fish' this month  :)

  1. Wow, look at the rustic goodness on that bunch! I can see why you fell in love with those fishies, they're awesome! Actually, I think they would look even better sharing a wall with your paintings. :))

  2. That fish with a handle is really great. I like art that reuses or recycles materials. Very clever and original. Your fish paintings are dreamy, as the world of fish often is. Very nice.
