Although the flowers are asymmetrical, the artist has tried to create an element of balance by placing them almost at the middle of the painting, and through the mixing of intense and dark colors. This makes the flowers to stand out clearly in the painting. The artist uses a variety of colors to make the painting beautiful and reduce a sense of monotony (Buster and Crawford 31). The viewer is looking at the flowers from a distance thus their medium size. This brings the effect of realism generated by the painting.
Dali communicates his message of time and how it is slowing down by using symbolism, juxtaposition and colour. This artwork can be read as a landscape, a still life and a self portrait highlighting Dali’s tour de force. Dali has been influenced by Luis Buñuel, Garcia Lorca and Paul Eluard.

The waves with more emphasis of longer parallel lines close to the baseline seem larger and closer to the viewer. The same applies for the waves moving toward the horizon line at the end.

Moreover, different strokes of the brush create a sense of time and motion.

The author in his close observation paints everything in a broad canvas in many hues for us to view. Through his nonpareil prism of imagination , he attaches a great significance to colours which stand for various notions. The protagonist Dmitri’s hair which is graying ,is in stark contrast with the romantic shade of ‘golden streak from the moon’. What stands out from this is in assonance with Dmitri’s aging self.

Then, when the family had been in the same room as the scorpion, it must have felt intimidated by them and decided to retaliate before risking the rain again. However, the poet does not bring this across to the reader clearly because the scorpion is later named “the Evil One”. This is most likely describing the scorpion as the person in the poem thinks that the scorpion has done this out of free will. However, this could also be talking about the Devil because the peasants were
The unique texture used by Rothko helps the painting look dynamic and expressive. Unlike Mondrain, whose rectangles have sharp edges and even color, Rothko made the edge of his rectangles blurry, and the density of color uneven. It is easy to discover that the picture plane of White and Greens in Blue is built up by layers and layers of small brush strokes, and the brush marks are sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.
