Yours has moss on the trees, his has none.
Yours has much more earth visible.
His has imaginary mushrooms, yours does not.
His has a little girl standing in the back, yours does not.
Yours show much more of each tree, his only show the lower trunks.
His image looks (imho) more like a storybook illustration for children, yours does not.
The only similarity is that both have a lot of trees.
In other words, I don't think his derives from yours.

I have a question for the group -Yesterday I opened a piece of email from Artnet and was disturbed to see somebody selling a piece of art at auction. The disturbing part is that it is very similar to a piece of mine. The questions are, is it similar or am I full of it, and if the former, what should I do besides complain (ArtNet has retreated into silence).Mine is here: http://janfaul.com/border_galleries/nature/ - it is Green Trees (now named Hansel & Gretel)And the copy is here: https://www.artnet.com/auctions/artists/ruud-van-empel/theatre-4?utm_campaign=artnetnews&utm_source=033015daily&utm_medium=emailAny comments?
