    Beautiful! I'd like her to paint a wall in my front room to look like clear glass looking onto a garden scene with animals.

    The plein air scapes are well - executed, as are the portraits. I see no reason to change the label on that particular style, however. "Photorealism" and/or "Superrealism" is what we called it then, and that is what we call it now. Making up new terms to describe the same things is not particularly creative IMHO.

    She comes from a long tradition, that would seem profitable to exploit.

    Is it plagiarism when a "Digital Artists" takes a photo using a digital camera and apply a photoshop or gimp filter to add "Impressionism" to the resulting image? (I'm not saying that's the case, just asking the question if it's still "Art")

    Anything creative is art. Using a photo they shot or someone else's?

    Yeah..the hard part is defining exactly what is "creative". Many people in the arts confuse "creative" with "disjunctive". I tend to be conservative on this issue for reasons of practicality. I cannot blanket endorse your statement because "anything" is a universal qualifier and I can think of a few "anythings" that certainly would not float under a practical definition of "art".

    The answer to Stryder's question is this: If you are the photographer and you manipulate your own image, than it is not plagiarism. If you 'borrow' someone else's image, Photoshop that, then present the result as your own work you have committed plagiarism. If you 'borrow' from another, you must credit them in your presentation. This as in "Michelangelo, after Da Vinci", or signed "Joe Schmoe after a Tuscan Master".

    Part of how to define an actual artwork is if the artist actually did the work, if they hired it done or if they have stolen it from someone else. If the 'artist' did no work, it ain't real.

    I don't know what happened to that. Wish I could still edit it.

    Many people copy paintings themselves and sell those reproductions to anyone who will buy them. As long as they let on that what they did and not the original artist it is common place to see these types of copies being sold. Is it right, well I can't say for certain because many people can't afford the original artwork so with this type of reproducing they can.
