Still Life from an Oil Painting
I'm a bit uncertain about the ethics of this post, because I'M NOT THE ARTIST. In the interest of full disclosure, I photographed a beautiful oil painting in the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco and photoshopped it because I love the luminous colors and composition. I wish I had noted the real artist, then my conscience would be in good shape!
I suppose you would call this a "derivative work"
Thanks to one of the commenters below who advised that it was painted by James Peale;
I'm drawn to still lifes in all forms, and wanted to try to recreate this composition some time. I'm quite pleased with the result even though it was shot with my little 7MP P&S Samsung!
Somehow this image has worked its way to the top of my Interestingness queue; which is rather ironic considering it's just a picture of a painting.

I often wonder about this sort of thing too. You are obviously putting this up for discussion purposes about the work, not to recreate the work or rip off the author, and yet it probably is illegal without written permission.
I hope the laws are updated over the next few decades to account for digital distribution and discussion, in any case, thankyou for sharing this. I would love to be able to achieve someting like this in watercolour!
