The answer was:

" It's possible that you may be permitted to include small excerpts from copyrighted material in your video if what you intend to use is insubstantial or is incidentally included, or where the intended use you have for the copyrighted material falls within a exception or limitation to copyright under the law in your country.

Anyway our lawyer will make some calls. Thank for your interest in this matter

....Tell me, Do you like my art??

God bless you
I do like your art! Just as I really like Bread, and Nickelback and Lou Rawls! Hell - I even like Eric Carmen (just don't tell K7, or he'll laugh...)

And thanks so much for setting me straight on "Fair Use". I had been thinking of doing the cigar boxes and purses, but did not want to do it for fear of infringing on your copyright!

Ya know - I like your work so much I've decided that I'm going to take copies of your paintings and make up some purses and cigar boxes. Now - please don't misunderstand me - I'm not using them for commercial purposes at all. Let's just say it's a "fair use" of your work that I will pass out to my friends and family. Why I think I might even share with the members of this board! If I can help it - I'm going to put a Daisy painting in every house in America!
