I've always loved that skater dude pic. Raeburn.
Raeburn. I like Pontormo's colors a lot, but one of my requirements for paintings of people is that if they are going to be weirdly proportioned, that should seem intentional. I don't think Pontormo is doing it on purpose, but his people are weirdly shaped.
Pontormo, I guess.
Raeburn, I guess.

Here come some votes-by-mail:
Susan: Raeburn
Alex: Raeburn
Morgan: Raeburn
Kyle: Raeburn
And then there's me: Um, Pontormo. C'mon, Pontormo! Comeback time!
Well, I'm totally on Pontormo's side on this one. Pro-skating lobby can't buy MY vote.
Pontormo.
Raeburn takes this one by mail, with a total of seven against Pontormo's four.
