Thanks Styles, like I said in an earlier post...I got a little obsessed with recreating the painting. The first two tries were based on erock308's (I think) mock-up of the two Gauguin paintings. The other three, I worked off of a somewhat out of focus screen capture while watching Magnum on TV. I got about as close as I could get. Oil paint might have a better result, but I'll save that for someone else to try. The big one I am keeping, but if anyone is interested in any of the others, they can PM me.

Thanks Chris, LOL...I have no idea how anyone creates value from these crypto-currencies. Bitcoin and NFTs are a complete mystery to me.
No clue about NFTs. There are plenty of videos how to do them, but I don't have the time. But, yours is a lot better than what is out there and people are making $$. Check into it. You'll thank me in the end.
I do not know the name of the artist or the painting, but it was there for only a few episodes. It looks maybe Japanese. I thought it was a samurai on a white horse. It could be a woman on a horse.
I did a couple more paintings over the winter...the toucan is acrylic paint on a masonite-like board, 24 x 24. I used some imitation lead and lots of clear acrylic to make it appear as leaded glass.
The ship from Higgins' office is what I believe to be the Hawaiian freighter, "Falls of Clyde". It is also acrylic on canvas 16 x 20.

Finally all together in my man cave
Excellent work!
That is indeed the Falls of Clyde. It’s an 1896 painting of her, when she was a British merchant ship. Her rigging was later changed from a full-ship rig with all square sails, to a barque rig, with the jigger (aft-most mast) having fore/aft sails. That is how she appeared on the series, though I think the masts were shortened at some point also.
I’ve included a link to a similar painting of the contemporaneous vessel Lai Phong that shows the barque rig I described above.
