What You Are Buying

What you own.

Any painting you buy from me is yours to own

Enjoy

Self-for-profit

Pass on

Do anything else you want.

What is not yours is the copyright to that painting.

The copyright has an independent value; such as to a publisher, who wants to use the image for commercial purposes. I retain the copyright, though you may buy that too.

This is very much a legal and standard way of handling art sales, although very few dealers admit it.
