Widmore's paintings
From Lostpedia
Several paintings owned by Charles Widmore's are depicted in Lost.

"Flashes Before Your Eyes" and "Jughead"
Several paintings in Widmore's office in this episode are seen by Desmond.
Namaste polar bear painting
One painting, in a style reminiscent of the mural painted on the Swan's wall on the Island, has polar bears, an inverted Buddha, mountain peaks, and the word Namaste on it. It and the third painting are on the wall opposite of the bar. Many viewers initially thought that the Namaste was written backwards. In the actual filming and the majority of the scene, the painting appears to Desmond's left, with Namaste written correctly. In initial shots the film was reversed, causing the painting to appear on Desmond's right with Namaste written backwards. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.
Thomas' painting
This painting (or print) is one of Thomas' paintings that were in Thomas and Claire's apartment in Australia ("Raised by Another"). [2] It is hung on the same wall as the bar. The storyline does not explain why the painting, which was presumably Thomas' creation, was in Widmore's office in the 90's, before appearing back in Thomas' studio in 2004 (three months after Claire discovered her pregnancy) ("Raised by Another").
Third painting
This and the namaste painting are on the wall opposite of the bar. It is of the Incident Room, possibly depicting the Incident itself.
"The Constant" and "The Shape of Things to Come"
During the auction of the Black Rock ledger at Southfield's, a painting of the ship Black Rock, unofficially known as Black Rock Storm, is prominently displayed. ("The Constant") Four episodes later, the same painting is shown hanging in Charles Widmore's residence, when Ben makes a threatening visit. ("The Shape of Things to Come") Two other paintings are also visible hanging in the residence at this time, one a landscape, and the other a portrait of two abstracted figures that has been confirmed as being painted by executive producer Jack Bender (see "third painting", bottom left) [3].

- How did Thomas's painting find its way into Widmore's office? And how could it be there in the late 90's, then back in Thomas' studio years later?
