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

Hmmm…Krispy Kreme invades the “Forbidden Planet” with support from Berenstain Bears “Space Grizzlie’s” ?

...Or Eric Joyner’s “Robots and Donuts”

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:

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.

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.

I struggled at first, until you posted the second image. My search combined a combination of knowing where your interests lie (likely countries) and narrowing down a period.

A few clues for the current work:
Japanese
Created in 1930
technique is know as "woodblock print"
one of a series

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.
