<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 81484, member: 60&quot;]Brad is correct about the copyright symbol.&nbsp; It prevents someone from using the original to make prints and resell them without the permission and/or giving the artist a percentage of the profits.&nbsp; It also prevents the image from going into the public domain.&nbsp; The symbol had to be displayed in a noticeable place.&nbsp;&nbsp; The law was recently updated in 2008 to protect artists because the old law stated that when a work was displayed in public, it became public domain which really isn&#039;t fair to the artist.&nbsp; Here is a link to the law:<a href="http://www.collegeart.org/guidelines/rights" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collegeart.org/guidelines/rights" rel="nofollow">http://www.collegeart.org/guidelines/rights</a></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I also think it looks like an original watercolor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
