Can any of you tell me (if possible) how to post jpegs of my artwork here? I am computer literate but cannot figure out the process.
Thanks!

1. Get a photobucket account

It's free.

2. Thanks,

though it looks like it's for photos. By jpeg I meant my origninal pastels that have been digitized. Will it still work? Do my images have to be stored somewhere on the Net to be posted at DU?

3. As long as you have them on hard drive you can upload

to photobucket. From there you get the url to post here. You can practice on this thread.

5. a tidbit of info

i had trouble uploading images to webshots, and to my yahoo photo album. i figured it out that it was because they were cmyk. when i converted them to rgb, they were fine.

4. You'll need to upload the work to a http page. Then

you can link to it using the simple format:

bracket img closed bracket image file bracket img/ closed bracket

-where "image file" is the entire uploaded file name starting with "http" and ending with ".jpeg."

8. Oh, Very Nice

I love your palette.

You might want to resize the photos downwards, to about a max pixel width 600. That way you can be sure your work will take up less than a full screen and people won't have to scroll.

9. Thank you

for the compliment. :)
Can I resize the items using view? Tools? How do I do that?

10. In Photobucket

You can resize. I'd start with a 75% reduction and see how that looks.

11. Let's see how this works

with this one reduced in size........

12. Yipee!!!

You choice of colors is compelling. I want to go into picture and listen to the water!

18. hey!

i love your work...needs some mounting...but that's sale worthy art in some parts of the country...some nice mat and frame work and you are on your way!

19. Why shucks........:)

Thank you! Seriously, I maen it. It was a long time coming in just allowing myself the permission to do this. It is a long buried desire. Being an artist wasn't considered 'real' work when I was a kid. They meant well, but it diverted me from who I am for a long time.
