Copyright Infringement: Nunu Assumes My Painting is Public Domain
UPDATE: 5/23/2013
IMAGE REMOVED
Thank You Nunu for your courteous response and quick action.
If you are new site owner you could save yourself a headache in the future by getting permission from copyright owners and THEN making sure images are reduced to thumbnails, crediting the artist, linking to their website and NOT putting your logo onto their images.
By having my image up on your site you made it possible for others to assume it was free to download and use as they wished. Due to not being credited you also stripped away professional opportunities.

Assumed!
On what basis are you assuming that Nunu India?
It has my watermark signature on it in blue
in the corner above their logo
and the signature ON the painting itself is covered over with their logo.
which I featured on my blog entry 2008
and sold at IN A FRAME Gallery in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
