[Ann Drysdale]

Some years ago, I bought an original watercolour from an art student. I have in mind to use it as a book cover. May I? Can I? Is is "mine" to use in that way?

Of course, I would contact the artist as a courtesy and hope she'd be pleased. But could she say No? Of course, I'd respect her wishes if she did, but - whose is it, rightswise?
