    It so happens that I saw paintings by both of these guys at the museum yesterday. And it so happens that I liked the Rousseau painting better!

    Rousseau puts together a thrilling rally, claiming the last four votes and a five-four victory over Roualt. Meanwhile, Rousseau continues on and will cross brushes with Sisley this coming Thursday.
