I thought this would be harder than it was. I'll go for the impressionist+ Hassam, de Hooch, Chase, and Tamayo, who I didn't like so much in the original tournament but is really standing out to me now- those colors!

I'll say Hassam, Sutherland, de Hooch, and Chase.

My first vote is Chace. I love the colors and emotion you can see and the reilizum is amazing. my second vote is hooch. I love how they set the seen and it feels like you are there with them. my third vote is Macha. I love the reilizum and colors. My fourth vote is hassam. the colors are amazing. I love the reilizum but its not comepletly reilistic.

Susan says: Childe Hassam (I love the room that is so cluttered but so bright), Alphonse Mucha, Man Ray & Chase.

Then, there's this:

Я приветствую вас, руководитель конкурса, из востока, точнее из холмов у подножия горы. Собака не лает, которое ничего странного, но вообще молчит некоторые дни. А это действительно вызывает немного беспокойство. Но и, со другой стороны, не очень много. Ну, всё равно. Пойдём к делу.

Я предпочитаю вот такие:
Mucha
Hooch
Tamayo
Chase

(Я проверил и нашёл много опечаток в этой записки, скажем так, но наверно много остались, простите, будьте добры. И конечно неловкости выражения. Что делать? Я—уродливый американец. Или немец, в лице Bargeld.)

I like 'em all. I like Hassam best, then de Hooch, then Chase, and after that it's a little muddy so I'll stop there.
