Rousseau, Holbein, Boudin, Delvaux
Vote for Parmigiano and Chase
Don't really like the others well enough, either because of style/technique or because of subject matter.
Delvaux, Rousseau, Boudin, Chase. A bit more underwhelming than previous weeks, I think.
Delvaux, Rousseau, Boudin, and Chase.
Yes, easier decision making this week. I'll go Delvaux, Boudin, Chase, and Holbein.
Boudin, Chase, Rousseau, and Savery.
I kinda feel bad that I'm not more into Parmiagiano, but there you are. Holbein is head and shoulders in this crowd, of course. I'll also go with, let's see, Chase, and Savery is kind of interesting, let's give him a whirl.
Hi, gS49!
Susan also likes "Savery -- I must comment because I fear he won't be back. I love them both -- so full of fun & fantasy & detail. In the second, the stag looks bemused, as well he might be by all the avian life on the scene. And what is the creature with the feathery feet in the far bottom left corner? -- possibly a Dodo?
Paul Delvaux, Boudin & Chase."
Well, apparently Savery was known for his dodos. In spite of that, I will doggedly cast one vote for Holbein.
Savery, Boudin, Holbein, Chase.
