Turns out, he wasn't. Van Gogh easily piles up 10 votes against 2, and will be painting in the semi-finals this weekend.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-52175807277260383652014-06-02T18:37:20.489-07:002014-06-02T18:37:20.489-07:00I have always had a thing for El Greco.I have always had a thing for El Greco.Nichimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359298496725231902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-75146942596002176092014-05-30T09:19:00.320-07:002014-05-30T09:19:00.320-07:00I can never quite believe that El Greco was workin...I can never quite believe that El Greco was working in the era he was. He reminds me of Cervantes in that. But I've now had the experience a number of times of being walking through a museum when a drop-dead gorgeous painting catches my eye and I wonder who the genius who painted it was, and then it turns out it's not a new discovery but van Gogh. So, van Gogh!Candidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586276874940437381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-55200675796256361222014-04-06T14:25:45.930-07:002014-04-06T14:25:45.930-07:00Van Gogh, natch.<b>Van Gogh, natch.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-5705710423271158042014-04-03T00:06:35.832-07:002014-04-03T00:06:35.832-07:00It was nice knowing you El Greco.

But alas, a few ties later, and not only had El Greco not fled this rough section of the bracket, but he had to face Van Gogh a round early!<br /><br />Which is a long way to say that I really planned to vote for El Greco for many more rounds, but that I can't deny that I like Van Gogh better.Chuckdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-56032345897541426552014-03-25T19:57:05.863-07:002014-03-25T19:57:05.863-07:00Van Gogh for me, he's pretty decent.Van Gogh for me, he's pretty decent.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475862386179357634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-80812147751990913352014-03-25T12:32:08.431-07:002014-03-25T12:32:08.431-07:00Van Gogh this time.Van Gogh this time.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772824060632731065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-61649335353184908682014-03-25T07:18:27.226-07:002014-03-25T07:18:27.226-07:00That's just mean to make me choose between the...That's just mean to make me choose between these two.
