My daughter has finished her most recent painting (I'll post soon, it is great!) and is really wanting to paint a (St. John) fish or underwater scene. We don't have any underwater ones that she really liked, she just went through our photos.

If anyone has one to share we would greatly appreciate it. Our disclaimer is that she would need your permission to paint it and if she ever wanted to sell it that you wouldn't mind. Depending on the photo she would use the whole thing or maybe just use the fish and make her own background.

We don't really plan to, but her work is getting pretty good so we don't want to rule out the chance of her selling it. Techinically it is not proper or the right thing to do to use a photo without permission of the photographer.

I am trying to teach her good ethics about this sort of thing, especially if she decides to really pursue art.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. class is in an hour... :shock:

She just settled on a starfish photo we had from Vie's beach. Whew, crisis over. Art class is too expensive for her to show up empty-handed!
