What do people think of this? I saw a painting the other day on here and thought it looked familiar, a photograph that had won an award from a magazine, it was a lovely sunset walk along a beach and I cut it out so I could try to paint it later. I haven't but someone else did, which is fine, but then in the description under the painting described it as being very personal to them. Surely some acknowledgement to the photographer would have been more honest!
