I was able to get online for a while longer (in between flights) and took down the article. Our sincere apologies. I hope you got my previous email. I would like to correspond further with you about this so I can lead a discussion for our group. Please respond to my personal email. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I would very much like it removed. As I repsect the intellectual property rights of others, I would like it respected for me as well. I have no problem with it being used in a class, but to have it republished on line word for word is insulting and hurts my writing revenue. A fix to this would be to simply link my article instead of republishing it. The original is at http://quazen.com/recreation/crafts/how-to-make-walnut-ink/ and was published in 2008. The plagerized one is at http://bagscblog.com/2010/09/12/how-to-make-walnut-ink-from-deborah-ravins-class/#comment-749 and was published in 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this problem.

We haven’t posted any of the exhibit paintings, but the building itself is a work of art and well worth the trip. Interestingly, we don’t yet have a firm date on when the show is coming down — it depends on when the next exhibit is ready. We’re anticipating sometime between 6 November and mid-November.

Can you post more information about the closing date and the number of paintings on exhibit? Have pics of the exhibit paintings been posted?
