Ed Sheeran
I know he is a really popular singer now. I just like his music.
His latest album <÷> used adjacent color, blue. 



<Happier>
It's a song about ex girlfriend. After a month they’ve been apart, he found out his ex found another guy, but he is still in love with her. He hope the girl will be happier with the new guy, so he put a smiling face.


<Supermarket flowers>
I cried when I first heard this song. 
"Dad always told me don’t you cry when you’re down
But mum there’s a tear every time that I blink " This part reminds me of my parents. I need to be stronger when I'm alone.
Actually this song has nothing to do with supermarket flowers. It only showed up at the first lyrics. Maybe these flower reminds him something that he will never forget.

Impressionsim

Édouard Manet
Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (English: The Luncheon on the Grass)
Is a large oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet created in 1862 and 1863. It depicts a female nude and a scantily dressed female bather on a picnic with two fully dressed men in a rural setting.



Claude Monet
Impressionism
 Madame Monet in a Japanese kimono, 1875, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Using this format, Monet created a virtuoso display of brilliant color that is also a witty comment on the current Paris fad for all things Japanese. The woman shown wrapped in a splendid kimono and surrounded by fans is Monet’s wife, Camille, wearing a blond wig to emphasize her Western identity.



Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Two Sisters Aka On The Terrace
Two Sisters or On the Terrace is an 1881 oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Renoir worked on the painting on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise, a restaurant located on an island in the Seine in Chatou, the western suburb of Paris. The painting depicts a young woman and her younger sister seated outdoors with a small basket containing balls of wool. Over the railings of the terrace one can see shrubbery and foliage with the River Seine behind it.


Edgar Degas
L'Absinthe
Painted in 1875–76, the work portrays two figures, a woman and man, who sit at the center and right, respectively. The man, wearing a hat, looks to the right, off the canvas, while the woman, dressed more formally, and wearing a hat, stares vacantly downward. A glass filled with the eponymous greenish liquid is on the table in front of her. The scene is a representation of the increasing social isolation occurring in Paris during its stage of rapid growth.

Trompe l'oeil

Illusions
Trompe l'Oeil is a French term literally meaning "to deceive the eye." Trompe-l'œil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of being mere, two-dimensional paintings. The name is derived from French for "trick the eye", from tromper - to deceive and l'œil - the eye.
“Trompe-l'œil is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Forced perspective is a comparable illusion in architecture.”-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe-l%27%C5%93il

“As adults, we obtain a sense of security in our ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not.  When confronted with something that – if only for an instant – makes us question our perception of reality, we are intrigued and experience a thrill like a child at a magic show.”-D.J.Hillberry
