  2. Not loving this rung, outside of Gozzoli and Lowry, but I'm also not feeling too much hate. I'll also add a vote for Leger, whose more abstract piece above I like more than his usual fare, and Long, since I also am a big fan of walking.

  5. Legar and Craig, maybe, for me? I actually dislike Lowry quite a bit, so I'll go negative on him this time.

  6. I'm late again. But if you're still counting, Leger and Crag and Long.
