Sarah King originally painted Old John at Bradgate Park for an exhibition.
She decided to turn the image into greetings cards to sell. But she has been told she will have to pay £100 to continue using it in her work.
Bradgate Park Trust said it registered the landmark as a trademark in 2001, to protect its image from being exploited for private commercial gain.
It added that there is no restriction on sharing and publishing images of Old John for non-commercial purposes.
