"The last four" for me

Elliott said...

Corot, Chase, Millais, and Dosso Dossi.

Charlie said...

I feel like you're trying to get me not to vote for Millais with that new one with the rainbows and the garish colors the Pre-Raphaelites seemed to like. But I can' be deterred! For now. The competitions is getting crazy. I'll do...

Millais, Chase, Chirico, and Utrillo

Nora said...

Corot, Chase, Millais, and Utrillo.

mrs.5000 said...

Hmmmm, I guess it's Chase, Derain, Utrillo, and de Chirico.

Candida said...

Dossi, Millais, Chase.

Susan checks in from the Eastern Seaboard to say: "I'm voting for the last four too: Corot, Derain, Utrillo & Chase. I'm torn between DeChirico & Utrillo -- this time I'll choose Utrillo.
On this frigid "coldest day in two years" here, it's nice just to look at Corot & Chase."

And I thought I'd already gone, but anyway I'll vote for the last two.
