I need help naming the artist or the painting, of famous paintings?

1. 2 Elephants one on each side facing each other with very long skinny legs with what looks like a tower on their back and a red to yellow fade in the background.

2. a portrait painting main focal point is a woman with a bearded man sitting next to her its located in a diner.

1. Twinkie House is right, the painting is called "Les Elephants" and comes from the painting "The Temptation of St. Anthony" by Salvador Dali (see links 1 and 2)

2. Again, I think Twinkie House could be right, but this is a little more difficult as your decription is not so good. It could be "Thw Waitress" or it could be "The Bar at the Folies-Bergere"……..or it might be neither of those. (see links 3 and 4)
