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.
