Thank you Mona! I love this post! I can't post anything right now but I will soon.
Ok, I am ready to post. Since the latest posts were mostly aquarelles I will continue it.
Here it is:

Here is another picture painted by this master. He, by the way, is a contemporary artist who represents a continent which hasn't been exposed in this thread so far.

I really like these paintings a lot.
The tough thing is, I can't seem to find the titles of the paintings that you posted.
They are all by Joseph Zbukvic and I believe the last one is entitled Seaside, although I may be mistaken. Good pick.
Next up, and I expect this to last a matter of hours, is:

I like your picture too! Honestly. The mystery picture's title is 'Wet day, Venice'Quote:

Rat you lie!

Here is the next picture:

Since you ended up having to giving us the painter's name, I may as well go ahead and respond. A testament to our poor performance.

Cool Painting!
I got it by typing "stormy bay painting" into google. If not for that, I would have been stumped:
Thunder Storm on Narragansett Bay, Martin Johnson Heade, 1819-1904
Next up:

Hmmm…Krispy Kreme invades the “Forbidden Planet” with support from Berenstain Bears “Space Grizzlie’s” ?
http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/a...lanetRobot.jpg
...Or Eric Joyner’s “Robots and Donuts”
Next challenge:

.
Clue:
Speaking of robots, there is a connection between them and our mystery artist.
.
Couple more clues:
Born in Bohemia
Both he and his brother were writers.
Another painting:

.
.
Credited with creating the word "robot".
Died while being held captive at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
.
The artist is Josef Capek, and the original painting is called 'Prostitute'. The other is called 'Harmonikár'.
I only got it thanks to your clue and a quick reference to the OED!
Next picture will be up shortly.
Here we are. I've absolutely no idea whether this will be easy or hard, but here we go:

hi guys can you help me by providing a free site for best books.
Okay, here's another one from our mystery artist:
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...ewmystery2.jpg
Thanks for the clue.
.
Artist: Carl Larsson
First painting: “Midvinterblot” (Midwinter Sacrifice)
Second painting: “Breakfast Under the Big Birch”
I particularly enjoy the second one with its softer palette in combination with line work. Reminds me of Shepard’s illustrations for Milne’s “Winnie the Pooh”.
I'll have the next one soon.

Here is the next challenge:

Well done! I didn't know whether people would struggle with this one - I knew nothing of Carl Larsson till recently. I'm currently doing some writing that touches upon the legendary Swedish king Domalde (or Dómaldi as he is in Old Norse), and I'd come across Midvinterblot in my research.Quote:

I think I caught you. Is it Hiroshi Yoshida? I can't find the exact print, but this one is just so similar that I am convinced:

If it's not, then I am surprised.
Close enough.
Hiroshi Yoshida is correct.
The challenge painting is "Waiting for the Tide"
Your turn Matthew
Okay then. First I will see if you can tell from the photograph alone - no hints.

No painting?
The photo looks like the work of.......
EDIT...
Hmm, my Dolly Parton image failed.
Anyhow, I will go with Salvador Dali (?)

oh here it is (i think - if I can still remember how this photobucket schit works)
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n.../Chewbacca.jpg
I've been able to find copies of the photo on the internet, but nowhere that gives the name of the photographer.
Perhaps a clue..?
