Re: copying

I can see the similarities but I’d never confuse those two images as they are notably different.

I could go through my files and find a stand of mossy trees that is similar yet I’ve never seen your image until today.

Similar in subject but not a copy, as far as I see.

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=email

Any comments?
