[QUOTE="Star*, post: 105149, member: 4964"] Marg You will be in for a very large court battle, and most likely loose on the grounds of "prove it" - Believe it or not I went through a similar situation with a man much older than I who loved to draw women in the nude. He drew other things as well but approached me about 'modeling' for him. Stating his wife didn't mind. (Yeah right) I said no several times - finally he drew a series of portraits of a woman that was my spitting image except the woman in the portrait had nasty outfits on. It was VERY clear to anyone who looked at the paintings that it was me. The only problem was I never posed. EVER. I wasn't even flattered - it creeped me out. A woman who bought one of the portraits for her husband told me I was over reacting, and should be happy anyone wanted to paint my picture. Stating further nude art was just that - My problem wasn't the art it was the permission thing. I said no, I meant no and he did it anyway AND profited off several drawings. That made me sick - because he would say "You know so and so Star over at the such and such?" I consulted an attorney and he said that there was very little I could do - it was interpretation. I said what about him telling people it was ME? He said "Get them to say it in a court of law" Oh bother. Forget about it. So I had a friend take a picture of him, and painted his head on the body of a pig holding art brushes and pencils. I hung it right where he could see it as we all frequented the same places. Everyone got a huge laugh out of it - got the message and when he said "I should sue you" I said "Prove that picture is you - it's all interpretation." Point made - and his paintings which were his interpretation of me stopped being circulated for sale. He is a sick man - the best you can do in situations like that is be prepared, and change your places, friends etc. Somedays I'm not so upset I'm heavy now. lol And as far as telling easy child/difficult child - well if she see's it - she's more than likely going to confront him about it and that seems to be old burning torches trilogy - I love you, I paint you, You get mad and come see me (repeat) I'd just keep a watch on him - you have the web site - see what comes in the second book. YOU know it's her - the rest of the world doesn't unless you tell them...friends and family included. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
