Lost by a two vote swing to Berthe Morisot in Round 1. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!
Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.
Lawrence and Morandi
ReplyDeleteI would choose Joshua Reynolds over Moore, but not Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteMoroni.
Lawrence, Moroni, with distinct lack of enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteMoore, Moroni
ReplyDeleteMoore and Morandi
ReplyDeleteI'll take Moore and Morandi, easily, over the two perfectly competent portrait guys.

ReplyDeleteMe too: I'll take Moore and Morandi, semi-easily, over the two perfectly competent portrait guys.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Moore and Moroni.
ReplyDeleteHenry Moore & Georgio Morandi
ReplyDeleteLawrence/Moroni.
ReplyDeleteSo, we've got Moore over Lawrence, eight votes to three. You can still vote on the lower contest for a few days, if you're arriving at the party late.
ReplyDeleteAnd Morandi drifts by Moroni in the bottom contest, six votes to five. And that closes down this particular phase of the operation!
