ReplyDeleteOh, they're both marvelous. I'm going with Sisley.
ReplyDeleteVotes both ways on FB: Mariah likes Sisley, but Rebecca says "Sittow is a really under-known and under-appreciated artist. BUT, he's getting a show at the National Gallery next year. Or one could see it in Estonia after it closes in D.C."
ReplyDeleteSittow. Eesti stronk!
ReplyDeleteBrutal decision, I love them both. I'll go with Sisley for mastering snow.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Sittow -- "hard choice."
ReplyDeleteI love Sittow's clarity, but I'm just charmed by Sisley.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I likes them both a lot...
ReplyDeleteOoh, interesting... my waffling left me in a position to break a tie in favor of the artist of my choice -- except that, one of the unwritten rules (or maybe it's written, I forget) is that I can't do anything at countin' time that would change a result. Therefore, it's France 5, Estonia 5, a tie that will be resolved over the coming week by pairing Sisley and Sittow against H. Rousseau and Rubens, who tied in their own Round Two match a few months back. Let the art continue!
