Unfortunately, per Wikipedia policy, content must be veriable via a reliable, independent, third-party source (see WP:V and WP:RS). Have any independent sources reported on your painting? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:48, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately what you list on my talk page is not the sort of thing we can use as a source on Wikipedia. If you look at WP:V it says "Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Source material must have been published (made available to the public in some form). Unpublished materials are not considered reliable....The best sources have a professional structure in place for checking or analyzing facts, legal issues, evidence, and arguments. The greater the degree of scrutiny given to these issues, the more reliable the source....Where available, academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources, such as in history, medicine, and science. But they are not the only reliable sources in such areas. You may also use material from reliable non-academic sources, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream publications. Other reliable sources include university-level textbooks, books published by respected publishing houses, magazines, journals, and mainstream newspapers. You may also use electronic media, subject to the same criteria".  So really, we're looking for coverage in books, magazines, newspapers (in print or online), etc.  Has there been any press coverage of the painting?  If the local paper did a piece about its unveiling, say, that would make a perfect source...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
