Reference photo use.
Any photo on www.donnaridgway.com is for sale for artist ref unless marked by an asterik or noted not for sale on an index page.
It's possible some of the reference photos have been used before. Please note, photos can be used in many ways, these are "reference" and give you the beginnings of an idea. Many artists can use the same reference photo, and if originality is used, the resulting painting is "yours". It won't look like anyone else's painting even if you used the same reference. You can change the colors of the animals, place them in a different setting, etc....
