Please keep in mind that my paintings/compositions/stories are meticulously planned and thought out.  I realize the temptation to use part of the paintings.  Feathering the edges of an image and creating animated effects such as moving water are acceptable.  I do  NOT approve of the creation of tubes�?or other computer aided methods which involve dissecting portions of my paintings to create an entirely different image. I also request that you create a link back to my site as well, no matter how you use my work.  this also applies to the creation of email stationery
