You painted this from a Pixabay photo. It's perfectly okay to do that, but you should always mention the source. Please don't lose heart, the votes WILL COME in time. Try making your original post in Discovery-IT (no crossposts). The Italians love art and you might pick up their regular curation with your regular posts. Then cross-post from there in the art communities that allow crossposts and in the curation communities.
