Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

Riley and Sluter
I'm with Riley and Sluter, which feels inconsistent, but I see I'm in good company!
Oh! And so am I. Riley and Sluter!
...and that late vote gives Riley a six-four win over Signorelli, and Sluter an eight-three victory over Sisquieros. Riley and Sluter will continue into the next round this week; the other two will collect their easels, palettes, and brushes at the cloakroom. Although Sluter might not have used any of those things.
