Skot_Olsen-Ed_Leedskalnin. Click for larger version.

I like this work by Skot Olsen quite a bit. He uses a portrait studio, dramatic background and realistic (but not hyper-realistic) style in his painting of the taught-faced, uneven-eyed Ed Leedskalnin, a Latvian-born eccentric who built the largest coral castle in southern Florida.

A pair of large paintings by Morris Molino, titles unknown. You may notice that I flipped the image on the left, which is probably a very bad thing to do. I just thought they made a better couple that way.
