pfly -- Interesting point... and, although it's a little ambiguous in the context where I found it I think you are probably right. I'm going to go ahead and sub it out for a new image #2, and unless we hear howls of protest from the Stuart contingent, let the current voting record stand.

Stuart!
I usually don't go for the modern art, but I'll cast a vote for the first guy in this case.
Clyff!
Still, with a twinge of guilt for not being more excited about Stuart's highly capable and iconic portraiture.
Hmmmm. 70 copies of George Washington without finishing the original! There's a novel in there somewhere. I'll go with Still.
I admit to an inordinate fondness of Still.
That said, are you sure the second Still is a real painting? It looks like a digital montage.

Susan votes by mail for Stuart.
Still's not bad, but, still better than Stuart.
Rethinking what my fingers may have typed, my vote may not have been entirely lucid. But the vote's still accurate.
Lucidity is easily made too much of. Still takes this contest easily, eight votes to two!
