Cast up to four votes in the comments by Saturday morning!
Corot (cool trees) Derain (love the dinner scene) Utrillo (pretty city) and Wood (the George Washington painting is the best painting in the world). Close runner up to Memling (Jesus is dead and that makes me bored)
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Corot and Wood (Stone City Iowa really kicks my butt), and let's see, I'll stick with Long. It's hard not to like Utrillo, but I feel like he's overachieving a bit. So I won't vote for him, but will rather continue to apply downward pressure on Lowry.
ReplyDeleteWell, I like the first four too much to cast a vote against Wood this week. So: Corot, Derain, Utrillo, and Memling.
ReplyDeleteCorot, Wood, Long, Lowry.
ReplyDeleteSusan says: "VOTES --Corot, Derain -- I never saw that Last Supper before. Prefer his Fauve paintings. Utrillo & LS Lowry.
ReplyDeleteI'm on Charlie's side this week, except I like the first four too much to vote for Wood or Long. So, Corot, Memling, Derain, and Utrillo.
ReplyDeleteLong, Corot, Utrillo, and Lowry.
ReplyDeleteElliott is voting for Lowry and Corot (nice!), and against Wood (my son!) and Utrillo (What? How could you?)
