Unfortunately 'print' doesn't distinguish between prints from, for
example, water colours, and prints from images made directly by the
action of light. You've have left a gap. recognising that 'print' is
not strictly the correct word in this example, but it will do for the
moment, where other people might have e.g.:

...print.painting.watercolour...
...print.painting.acrylic...
...print.photograph.daguerreotype...
...print.photograph.silver halide...
...print.photograph.inkjet...
...print.photograph.slide...

you seem to have something like:

...print.painting.watercolour...
...print.painting.acrylic...
...print.photograph...
...print.daguerreotype...
...print.inkjet...
...print.slide...

which leaves no way of classifying together all the 'prints' that are not paintings.

Anyway, I'm sick to death of this, I don't really care what you call
them, and the sun's shining.
