I posted the study for this last week. The actual photo I used was cropped from a photo a friend purchased and framed. She asked me to paint this one for her and I agreed. I guess it was alright to do as it is not for resale. The way I understand copy writes, if it was copyrighted, is that you can reproduce, you just cannot sale. Of course, that does not explain all those paintings of Obama last January. I know all those artists did not personally take a photo of him or paint from life. Does anyone have input on this issue?

TUSCAN VILLA, 5X7, OIL, SOLD
This is a study for a 24x30 piece I did a few weeks ago. I am finding I start to get antsy when I concentrate on too many abstract pieces. Did I forget how to paint? Can I still do a "normal painting". Ohh poor me, with all my insecurities! But still, I will probably post more realistic peices the rest of the week!
