    Oh man, St. Luke's. I know I've seen that artist's work before (though not in person I think) but the name eludes me entirely. I think I knew it once...this is going to bug me. Is it something like Chang or Chan, or am I way off base?

    Well... considering that our artist was born in China (but now lives in the US) he might well be expected to have a name like Chang, Chan, Ling, Han, Lee, Chong, Kong, etc... rather as more than a few Americans are named Williams, Smith, Jones... and Kowalsky.

    The problem occurs when you upload a picture from where you have saved it on the hard disc. Formerly, it uploaded the picture to a file containing all your pictures and by holding the cursor over the one you wanted to transmit to LitNet you got a drop down menu with various Urls for different recipients.
    Now, however, you get a page for sending pictures by mobile phone and that's it. There is nothing on the page that allows you to use any other medium. So until I find some way of breaking out of the straightjacket, I will be hors de combat.

    Brian, Flickr is quite easy to use in the interim.

    OK... more clues: Our artist was born in Shanghai in 1978. He moved to the US in the late 1980s and lived in a small town in Iowa. He majored in pre-med biology in college in order to please his parents, but his true desire was to paint. Since 2000 he has lived in Denver and focused upon his art career which has taken off like wildfire.

    Ha! And the name "Cong" even came to me before seeing St. Luke's hints (Though I did need the biographical information to get the rest of his name). I knew it was something Chinese starting with a "C" and ending with a "G".

    OK, this may not be too hard to guess--at least for our resident artist--but I've got lots on the schedule today and break time's almost over.

    Oh. I see. I thought you meant posting things from photobucket was causing problems for you seeing them here. I've been uploading things from my disc to photobucket and posting them here. They have changed the set-up a little, but I can still get the little drop down menu with the urls and image tags and what not to post here. I'll look at what I'm doing more carefully later today and see if I can figure out what I'm doing differently. Otherwise, as St. Luke's says, flickr works fine. I just prefer not to clutter up my flickr account with random pics I want to post here.

    I really do love this thread, but it does hammer home just how ignorant I am about the world of paintings.

    This isn't a very good print but I will post it anyway.

    Here is my picture. I know that you will find out easily but my goal is to share something what I like with people, plus it's called art therapy.

    Pissaro: The Hermaitage at Pontoise. I have liked this painting for years but it would be easy to find because the artist's name is clearly visible on the picture.
