Kim,

I want to say first that this a really lovely painting with an understated but effective use of color. The design is well executed.

The lens problem is another thing. There are lenses and there are lenses. I have a Nikon lens that DOES NOT DISTORT. It is a 55 mm. macro. A small fortune, but it has a 1 to 1 ratio ( as it was explained to me , a photo dunderhead) and is especially useful in copying flat surfaces like art work. As a result I am able to photograph my billboards without any distortion.

This is one reason I am loathe to buy any kind of camera that does not allow for lens changes. Also zoom lenses are notorious for distortion, fixed lenses, digital or otherwise are best.
