Thought I would post another piece I am working on. I was missing working on a flower painting. I used a photograph I had taken of a tulip tree at our local mall. As I was taking the picture of what I thought was just the flower a mall security guard approached me and told me I wasn't allowed to take photographs on the mall property. I nicely explained I was just taking a picture of the flowers and showed him what the image looked like, but he said no more photographs because part of one of the mall buildings was in the photo. What a sad commentary about the world we live in now.
On another note, in a previous post I mentioned a work of mine being what I felt was copied. A friend lent me a marvelous little book titled "Steal Like an Artist" by Austin Kleon. It's truly inspirational for artists, writers or musicians. I ordered a copy for myself from Amazon so I could use a chapter each day to inspire me.
