Each of the eight paintings depicts the death of a member of the group of twelve	none.	+ Kaito Nakamura was a member of the group of twelve. - It is unlikely that HRG, depicted dead in 8/8, was a member of the group as he joined the thirty year-old Company only fifteen years ago (Company Man), he took orders from Kaito (Company Man), and he did not know Linderman was a power behind the Company (.07%). + The painting is not necessarily a picture of Noah. It could be that Noah's father is still alive and was a member of the group of twelve.
The 8th painting does not picture the actual death of HRG.	None	+ Other paintings have shown the results of illusions, e.g. The President Stands Alone turned out to be Sylar, masquerading as Nathan. + It's unlikely that Claire would mug down with West while standing over the still-warm body of her adoptive father. - West could have possibly shot HRG for revenge and he is actually holding Claire away from the still-warm body of her adoptive father. + Future events painted by Isaac have been prevented, e.g. the bomb did not go off in the middle of New York City in our current timeline. (How to Stop an Exploding Man). + Isaac could have altered the painting after he initially painted it.
