Derain, Wood, Lowry, and Chase
Well, I like every artist except for Wood, so I guess it makes sense to start with a vote against him. As for who do I particularly like? I'll go with Chase, Derain, and Lowry.
Derain, Chase, Long, and Wood.
Derain, Wood, Lowry, and Chase
I'd say it's a Long Chase in de Wood and Derain.
Wood, Long, Lowry, Chase.
For me, Wood and Long yes, and against Lowry.
...and Susan says "Andre Derain (a great favorite of mine), Rachel Ruysch, LS Lowry & Chase.
