Photographs are often the inspiration for painting or other works of art. The complications occur when another party owns the copyright to the the photo. Artists can borrow from other works up to a point under the fair use standards. Given the text on the Zimmerman's painting, it will be interesting to see if he claims the work is a parody under fair use. The USA Today headline even reads "George Zimmerman's latest painting mocks prosecutor".
