That header of the shoreline and boat at sunset came about this way. I had the large picture and trimmed it to header size, accentuated and did bibs and bobs, then had it hosted.
Fine. The original had been in my store for years, I couldn't recall from where but as i thought about it, it seemed to look like one of Gary Dierking's boats [he's known for that super-smooth strip-planking]. So today I thought I'd check his site out again and what a shock. Not only did he crop the way I did but he used the Papyrus font, as I do in many pics I use.
If you were to compare the two, it looks as if I've just come along and lifted his pic whereas I can assure anyone it was not so. Anyway, look through his site, he's a nice chap that I've had correspondence with from time to time.
Well,
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned in Spain at the Prado was any recreation of a painting must be a different size, as not to confuse it with the original. In my opinion, you have nothing to worry about!
Haha, so, in these terms, you didn't infringe on his copyright. I think it's a nice gesture what you did though. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI think perhaps you just have the same taste...like when 2 friends turn up at an event in the same outfit.
ReplyDeleteObviously great minds think alike :-)
