Guercino, Carpaccio, Holbein, Daubigny.

Well, let's see here. Good set. Holbein and Perugino of course. And, I'll stop there -- I could reasonably put a minus on Guercino and Daubigny, but it's hard to do it without feeling like you're "going negative," and I don't feel negative.

Susan says: VOTES -- Carpaccio -- I keep liking him more -- Holbein, Canaletto & Daubigny.

I happened to log on to Facebook for the first time since, like, the main Tournament entered, and by gum there were VOTES there:

Elliott: Guercino, Boudin, Daubigny, and Canaletto

Nora: Boudin, Daubigny, and Canaletto

Charlie: Perugino, Holbein, Daubigny, and Boudin.

A strong showing. Certainly Holbein, and I have enough vague positive feeling towards the rest of the bunch that I'll stop there.
