ReplyDeleteReni, and it's not particularly close for me.

ReplyDeleteRebecca votes on Facebook for Reni over Renoir.
ReplyDeleteOK, look, Reni is clearly the superior painter here. But, Renoir made a lot of very attractive canvasses that have brought me happiness over the years. So I'm going to vote for him.

ReplyDeleteI am climbing onto Renoir's side of the teeter-totter, as far back from the fulcrum as I can safely get.
ReplyDeleteReni but I won't be sad if Renoir wins.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all land on the fulcrum of the teeter-totter, as Reni picks up the final vote to stifle Renoir's late comeback, landing us all in a beautiful, beautiful six-six tie! We shall proceed directly into some tiebreaking this week!
