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>

Well, as my grandmother used to say, "I do know!"<br>
<br>
There have been so many things that have happened to me, mostly about
some graphics, not paintings,<br>
and I used to fight it but finally I gave up. One of my little
animated fairies is on the myspace page of free<br>
graphics people can use on their pages. <br>
<br>
I do use images of flowers that people that are friends of mine at
webshots have taken. This is due to the<br>
fact that because of health issues, my getting out has been limited.
Recent surgery has greatly improved<br>
this so I hope I will be out there a lot more with my camera. However,
I have a whole page at webshots<br>
where people have been honored to give me carte blanche on using their
pictures. But I never use one<br>
without it.<br>
<br>
But this seems so absolutely blatant, what CAN she have been thinking?
That nobody would notice?<br>
I think if so, she was really living in dreamland.<br>

Sad, sad.<br>

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>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If the gold medal winner
is 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>
