I appreciate everyone weighing in on this, I never realized that copying someone else's photographs is an acceptable practice in painting. It may be legal, but it doesn't seem right to me, but of course I'm the photographer being copied.
I will be writing him a letter expressing my views, and I'll even send him a post card from a show announcement that used that image. He can put it in his scrapbook.
