<DIV><BR></DIV>The young lady in question has taken a very low profile.
I wrote to one of the board members of AWS and asked that they give the gold
award to Mark Mehaffey (who now holds the silver) and just move everyone up a
peg. He came to Oregon and was our jurist for the WSO fall convention in
2004. I know he does his own work. Committes sometimes must move slowly
and with caution.. The rules are going to get tighter. I wonder if We'll have
to get our entries notorized in the future? :)<BR> <BR>Carrie

The wet canvas thread is a great read, You can get all the information
within the first several pages. It is pretty hard to dispute the image
overlay of the photograph then the painting. Every strand of hair is
identical. AWS has volunteers just like every watercolor society, I can see
how they want to trust people that say they are entering original work. The
young woman made a bad choice and will most likely be sued by a couple or
more photographers.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>carrie

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Since it seems to be quiet
here on the Aquanet list, I thought I’d pass along something that has
become a heated discussion on the Wet Canvas website. Apparently, the gold
medal winner at the 2008 American Watercolor Society show has been accused
of copyright infringement. The painting in question is a combination of
two photographs taken by a photographer who claims not to have given the
winning artist permission to reproduce the images. In addition, there
seems to be some question as to whether the winning painting is really a
painting at all or, perhaps, a high quality print. The “print or painting”
discussion has arisen among photographers who point to a flaw in the photo
being visible in the winning painting.</SPAN></FONT></P>

ultimately proven to be a fraud, it would seem to put the AWS in a very
awkward position, especially if the “painting” turns out not to be a
painting at all. As someone who’s never entered a show, I’m fascinated by
this story and somewhat surprised that a prestigious group such as the AWS
doesn’t do more stringent “vetting” of submissions to its annual
show.</SPAN></FONT></P>
