Raeburn. Skating guy is cool, giant head baby is weird. One of the side-effects of motherhood seems to be extreme discomfort with unrealistic infants and children in fine art.

ReplyDeleteI love the skating portrait. Quercia might have won the sub-contest "Infinite Art Tournament for Q," but he does not get my vote this round.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Dell Quercia

ReplyDeleteI do like the skating guy. But I'm with Elliott, Della Quercia deserves to win this one.

ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Raeburn.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that Raeburn is more than a one-hit wonder, but it's a good hit, and I'll vote for it.
ReplyDeleteI was voting strongly for della Quercia all the way until I hit Raeburn.
ReplyDeleteAnd Raeburn takes it by a frosty, ice-skating mile, nine votes to two!
