Yep, I went there right after your statement to see if they had a screencap up, but they're falling down on the job!

They call it "a gruesome interpretation of Isaac's painting of Nathan in office."

but why would Sylar repaint something that Isaac's already done?

Maybe to show that he is changing the future?

right, but if the future is the same, why repaint it? That's why I think that he's painting himself in the White House, because he's changing the future.

Because now he's seeing it.

Yeah, Isaac didn't strike me as being in all that much control of what he painted, particularly when his power first manifested.

I thought Sylar's painting was far too well-crafted (if in a creepy style) for someone who's never painted a large canvas in oils before. Unless he also absorbed Isaac's technical painting skills along with his power...

I thought he painted Frankenstein's monster as president.

I thought that he painted himself.

Six of one....

Peter did. He was drawing stick figures in the hospital, but he painted exactly like Isaac did. Which is interesting. Perhaps because Peter was copying Isaac's power, whereas Syler was interpreting it.

And a watchmaker may be trained in the fine arts to a certain extent, as some fine engraving they may be called on to do could certainly be seen as artistic skill- I would buy that Sylar is using that older artistic talant rather than copying Isaac.
