The artwork that I had chosen from the President’s Gallery was Kabuki St. Augustine by Maureen Warren. There were only two figures in the foreground mostly in black and white coloring, while the background was black.

colors. To American consumers of both genders, blue is the favorite color. In addition, in this ad they use light blue so it means they want to emphasize cheerful.
