For this stamp I chose a stamp created from an original painting named "Le Rubis" from 1900. The artist was Alphons Mucha, a Franch painter during that time period. It's a U.S. stamp that costs 44 cents. The stamp was posted for sale on the Imagina Zazzle blog for sale in November of 2010. The bright colors immediately attract the eye to the petals of the Christmas poinsettias. It seems like the painting was edited in photo shop for reprint-ability on color lithograph. It has a vertical layout, but can look good from all angles. The large blossom towards the top is leading the hierarchical arrangement, then the eye travels down it's stem to the secondary and tertiary points (the other blossoms), where it then travels through the greenish negative space back to the top. It's an asymmetrical design, and gives the illusion of depth through the overlapping flowers.
