...and I'll lead right off with a ticket of Kalf, Luini, Daubigny!

Candida said...

Kalf, Landseer, Reynolds, Daubigny.

Morgan said...

Strong new contenders! Nolde, Kalf, Gaudier-Brzeska, Daubigny.

Daubigny of course. Willem "Red Lobster" too. Then Luini and Reynolds. Tempted to vote against Landseer, but I think I'll hold off on the hate vote until he makes it up few more rungs.

Elliott said...

Kalf, Landseer, Luini, and Daubigny.

Nora said...

Kalf, Daubigny, Landseer and Gaudier-Brzeska

I like the Kalf-Luini-Daubigny ticket.

DrSchnell said...

I'll also go for the Kalf - Luini - Daubigny triumvirate and I'll add in Gaudier-Brzeska for good measure.

Susan says "Willem "Red Lobster" Kalf, Sir Edwin Landseer, Luini & Daubigny."

Michael5000 said...

And that's that! Kalf and Daubigny get the week off, it's back into the fray for Luini and Landseer, and the other three are out of the game... for now.
