ColourClouds has a unique view about copyright, plagiarism, sharing, online art and art in general: You should see these images as yours, as everyone else's, and as mine. And we must all share in a fair way.



I'd love the whole world so see my pictures. I enjoyed making them and I hope they bring joy and colour into your life too. So, you may copy them. But, when you use them more permanently - such as hanging them on your walls - I should get some reward for that.

I would love you to print or to paint these images yourself, or to buy one that I painted. So, for example, if you paint one yourself and pay the small amount, then that is not plagiarism. Here's how to paint and how to pay

Lastly, I believe that it is right to give away part of what I receive through your generosity. Therefore 10% of the profits made from this web site is donated to the Red Cross Children's hospital in Cape Town, South Africa - Africa's only children's hospital. I don't see this as charity - the pictures belong to us all. Here's more about the Red Cross children's hospital.

Anyway, you can find all of the rule stuff at the bottom of each of the picture pages such as this one. I really hope that you will see these rules as fair. And I hope to see you visit my "whimsical" world often.
