Balla! Although I'm not sure I voted for him last time, and I love the patterns in the first Balthus painting here. I like Balla's light and movement a lot. So I vote for him.
Balthus, again. Did I ever tell you that I visited his home, or at least where he lived and worked for a while? I just remembered. http://last-best-year.blogspot.com/2007/08/le-roi-des-chats.html
Balla. That first one is pretty great.
I like Balthus and his controvesial, dare I say subversive (ahem, Guitar Lesson) paintings, but I gotta go with Balla - I'm digging his 4-dimensional painting style!
I think I'll go with Balthus this time around.
Balthus.
I can't decide. I like them both. Um, um, um.....um.... Balla!
(Let me add, I'd probably pick Balthus based on the pictures posted here...but there are at least two Ballas not here that I've long been very fond of...)
Balla
One for Balthus. Good kitty. Weird humans.
Hmm. Balla.
Balla.
We've got a vote-by-mail for Balthus.
Balthus
