Artist's description:
Have you ever fallen in love with an image? Yes? Then, I hope, you'll understand me.
Head over heels I fell in love with "Roseberry Topping, Bluebells," gorgeous and magnificent photograph by John Potter. What do I do when I love an image? I ‘sharpen’ my brushes, mix the acrylics, and paint. I’m not able to do anything else. However, as a painter I don't paint exactly the same image. I let myself to be inspired by an image.
In the case of Roseberry Topping Bluebells, I loved it so much that I have almost painted exactly the same image (OK, there are changes, but the similarity is obvious).
Now I stood in a huge dilemma: what to do next? As an artist, I do paint for living. I cannot allow myself just to paint for myself and ‘sit’ on my paintings. I began to feel really bad. What to do?
Only one possibility seemed to be a good one: to write to John Potter, the photographer. But how to find his address? I've googled “John Potter photographer” and found him directly!
I've written to him an email, confessed my crime, and my love to his image. I was really afraid if and what he would say about it… His answer was really seconds after my email and it was in the most friendly and lovely way you could ever imagine. He is something; say at least, a fantastic photographer and a very friendly person.
