The Art of Delacroix; Tonal & Hue Contrasts
This is French artist, Eugene Delacroix’s painting, The Barque of Dante (1822). Delacroix was a leading Romantic artist who rejected the academic rules of his time. This painting is one of the first major shifts in Delacroix's paintings. His use of complementary hues (colors) painted side by side preceded the art of the Impressionists. The figure at the left front of the painting has been foreshortened. The dark values around the figure and also the mid tones modeling the body contrast and enhance the figure’s luminosity.

Circular Compositions in Art. Zazzle Sales Information
This painting, Dutch Interior 1 (1928), is by Spanish artist, Joan Miro (1893 – 1983). It is a circular compositional structure. Miro achieved balance and unity by using repeated shapes and colors. Circular compositions suggest a central point even when nothing identifies the centre. When several shapes are in a group they suggest their own central point. A circular design leads the viewers around the painting and in and out of the painting. (H.R. Poore, N. Goldstein)
The second image is my painting, Cherries. I have also cropped the image to show the circular composition of the cherries. The cherries are circular shapes and combine to create a larger circular design. The cropped image can stand as a painting. The image is united by repeated shapes and colors. The design leads viewers around the painting and in and out of the painting.
It appears that Zazzle.com is having a 50% off sale on a product for 4 hours every Friday. The hours are from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Eastern Time.

When I receive the sale’s notice, I first post information about the sale on my Zazzle shop announcement (around 2 pm, Eastern Time). I then post information immediately on my blog, twitter, myspace.com and facebook.com. I started my holiday shopping by buying an item at 50% off.
