Froment falls at the second hurdle, Andre takes his spot, and Kalf continues to hang tough. Is it Chase week or Canaletto week? And what do we think of the new kids?

Andre/Canaletto/Kalf/Chase. I almost cast a negative vote for Tiepolo, who rubs me the wrong way.
Candida7:25 PM, July 07, 2019
Andre, Canaletto.
Nore5:47 PM, July 08, 2019
Riopelle, andre, Canaletto, and Daubigny.

Vote for Tiepolo, Daubigny and Canaletto.

Vote against Riopelle.

I'm ready to move one from Daubigny, Canaletto, and Kalf, but it's hard to when the new competition is so lacklustre to me. So they'll all get my vote again.

As for my fourth? Despite the return of the giant Cinnabon, I'll give it to Andre, who has a way with cubes.
mrs.50007:43 AM, July 11, 2019
Hmmmm. Well, I'll say Canaletto and Dobson.

Susan says "Dobson, Canaletto, Kalf, Daubigny."
Michael500010:01 AM, July 13, 2019
Oh, I dunno. Let's say Andre and Daubigny.
