Working with the new medium of oil and his mastery of light‚ contrast‚ and sfumato‚ da Vinci created the most famous painting in the world; a work where subject and background compliment each other to form a perfect union. One of the aspects that make the Mona Lisa such a masterpiece is da Vinci’s use of oil as a medium. As the movie The Mystery of Jon van Eyck

The short story " Lawn’s" by Mona Simpson is very interesting to me because it was more than a tough girl who steals and lies and who is totally careless.
