Grimshaw. I liked the light before, and now you've added a very nice lady.

Oh hey! Grimshaw! I like that guy!

I liked Grimshaw pretty well until I saw his people. In any event, I'm for GUARDI and his Venetian landscapitude.

Oh, definitely Guardi! And I just saw some at the Portland Art Museum, so know how very yummy they are in person.

Grimshaw seems like one part a lesser Alma-Tadema plus three parts a greater Van Gaard.

And Atkinson Grimshaw outperforms his reputation, taking down the Venetian master 8 to 3. He's heading for the semi-finals!
