As much as I like John's kitty painting, I'll have to vote for Jordaens here.

I find Jordaens' work much more interesting.

Sticking with the kitty.

Kinda like 'em both, but I'll take Jordaens' people in carefully orchestrated social settings over John's in murky isolation.

Jordaens. I don't like her because she's not good at drawing.

Michael5000 said...

I'll go with John, for the quietude and because SHE IS TOO GOOD AT DRAWING!

Michael5000 said...

Oh, and I fixed that link.

And it looks like it's Jordaens over Johns, 7-5, in a squeaker. He'll go on to try his chops against Ingres in the next round.
