The Bistro
Heywood & Donna's St...
This is from a photo I found on the internet on a National Geographic site. The photo was staged by photographer Laura Malischke - website www.lauramalischkephotography.com . I liked the way the scene was divided into 16ths - The photo was in all browns and tans - I wanted color. This painting is larger than it appears here and only resembles the photograph in composition. When I wrote Ms Malischke after I'd painting the thing, she gave me permission to show the painting, but only if I don't sell the painting. Weird, huh? She's a terrific photographer, but believes somehow that she would be affected - injured somehow - by the sale of a painting by a little old lady from Idaho who lives on social security and sells her paintings in order to pay part of the cost it takes for her to continue painting - and who actually TOLD her that she had copied the design from a staged photo Ms Malischke took and shows on her website. I don't get it, but I did agree. She taught me a great lesson. I will no longer ask permission to use photographs as inspiration. My research of the copyright law says the law would be broken if I tried to sell a photo of Ms Malischke's photo as my own, but not from using its design as inspiration for a work of art in another medium - It now belongs to a friend who exchanged yard work for it.
