  2. 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

  5. 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."

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