Thanks for posting this Mike. I'm not clear if
they're retaining
copyright for the paintings - presumably if they are we couldn't just
copy them into Commons?

might be simpler / quicker / better publicity if we could get them to
'donate' a copy to Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons.

We're not mentioned, but (a) good news, and
(b) WMUK may want to
play
in (snag a complete dump for Commons?).
Random thought. Sorry not very well thought-out.
