I wouldn't worry about using other people's images for reference except for possible copyright issues. Either use something that's in the public domain, or get the photographer's permission.

I've also been gone from the blogging world, lately--I'm heading out on the road next week, and am going to make efforts to paint in hotels at night. See you in the fall, yes!

I love the way you handled the water, and the shapes of the boats call out to me. <br /><br /> I know how you feel about using other people's photos. I prefer to use my own too, but sometimes it just is too much to find the right source material and photograph it. I posted a painting today that isn't my own design at all. It's an exercise from another painter. But I figure if I say what it is up front, and give credit where it's due, it's OK, especially since I never plan to sell the piece. <br /><br />I need to go back and see what happened with your mother. Sounds like you are being a caregiver these days. Take care, Laura.Sherry Pierce Thurnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949006925160703266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-50995598616019577212009-08-31T15:56:03.380-04:002009-08-31T15:56:03.380-04:00Laura, This beach painting has a wonderful, sunny ...Laura, This beach painting has a wonderful, sunny glow to it.
