Hi Alan, the same thing happened to me earlier on, but I thought it was my phone, sometimes I can't upload from it due to memory shortage, I have just uploaded from my laptop and everything seems ok.

Depends when you sent it Alan, Dawn has been away for a couple of days so may not have seen it, she will be back in the office on Monday.

Thanks Linda, and Alan, I was trying to send a leisure painting project of Plymouth light house, which has to be emailed instead of the normal way of entering the gallery. Not sure what exactly has gone wrong, but it has happend once before. So I might just add it myself. Alan that might explain it, I will leave it for now.

Well Alan you have raised a issue close to my heart.  I did not see the challenge re “Plymouth Lighthouse” as I live in Plymouth I can assure you that there is no such place.  There is Eddystone lighthouse, 13 miles out to sea and there is Smeaton’s tower, which was once out on the Eddystone, but brought back to shore because the underlying rock was thought to be eroding.  It’s stump is still out there and another lighthouse was built close by.  Smeaton’s tower situated on the Hoe in Plymouth is no longer a lighthouse and serves no useful purpose other than a visitor attraction and an educational edifice.  I believe/ hope that a bust of Mr Smeaton’s who designed it with interlocking granite block, has been erected inside to commemorate his work.  What did the article say about Plymouth lighthouse?

If it's for a competition, it won't automatically appear in the Gallery - that's a different process: i.e. you have to upload those yourself, not by sending an email.

It was a project to follow in the Leisure Painter, not a competition as such Robert. So I believe these do have to be sent to Dawn.

Yes Linda you are right about the lighthouse. The project was called Plymouth lighthouse. But the project was based on imagining the lighthouse on its original location. A sketch was given and we were told to base it around a storm . Then email the result to leisure painter and they would put on the gallery under the name leisure painter for everyone to see. If you go to the gallery, and look for leisure painter competition you will see the results of this projects and past projects.

Thank you for that, Alan.  In Plymouth we know our  Eddystone lighthouses, by who built them.  First Winstanley, which burnt down, secondly the Rudyard that was washed away in a big storm, Smeaton’s which was taken down and fourth, the Douglas, which is still standing, but none of them is known by “Plymouth Lighthouse”.
