You should not hang any paintings where they would be exposed to continuous direct sunlight - acrylic and oil paintings are not as vulnerable as paintings on paper, but their colors might slightly fade in a few decades if you let sun burn into them all the time. Paintings on paper have to be framed with an acid-free mat and under glass to protect them. Paintings on canvas that were created with either acrylic or oil paints do not have to be framed at all (the canvas is stretched over a wood support frame so that you can hang the painting on a wall right away when you receive it, without a decorative frame). Websites are also considered to be intellectual property and copying of the text on my websites is also illegal (I even found a woman in Australia that simply copied and pasted my Artist Statement from my website and put it on her website as her artist statement and also tried to copy several of my paintings!) If you ever come across something like that please let me know, as I do take legal action against any such copyright infringement.
There was a case in Canada recently where a Chinese company was illegally reproducing the paintings of many Canadian artists, me among them). It is also illegal to create derivative works from any of my original paintings (there have been many instances of people trying to illegally copy my paintings and sell the copies as originals or reproductions - most of them from China. For school projects and magazine covers/illustrations, seminars and other events please email me as I consider these on a case by case basis. It is illegal to alter the images of my paintings in any way. You can use the image of my painting in your blog or on your (non-commercial) website providing that you link the image back to my website and credit me as the artist who created the painting by visibly placing my name under the image. If you would like to buy limited copyright to an image of my painting, email me and we can discuss the terms.
That means that you cannot make copies or any kinds of reproductions from a painting you bought from me.
Sale of a painting does not mean the transfer of copyright - the artist always retains all copyright and reproduction rights to his/her paintings. I retain the copyright to all of my paintings. Copyright information (Can I use the photo of your painting in my blog, school project, magazine, etc.)Īll my paintings, drawings and images of my paintings and drawings are protected by Canadian and international copyright laws and may not be copied or reproduced in any manner without my written permission.
