This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled At the First Touch of Winter, Summer Fades Away designed from a painting by Valentine Cameron Prinsep shows a dark, cloaked figure representing winter gently touching the shoulder of a vibrant woman embodying summer as her bright petals begin to fall. The air shifts dramatically here, carrying the crisp, icy scent of an approaching frost that slowly overtakes the warm perfume of dying blossoms. The viewer is drawn to the vivid contrast between the brilliant golden gown and the deep, absorbing shadows of the cloak. It is simply breathtaking! No doubt, capturing this seasonal transition stitch by stitch will bring a profound sense of dramatic beauty to your fabric. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
