This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Boy in Blue designed from a painting by Thomas Gainsborough shows a boy modeling a Van-Dyck costume. The exact identity of the boy is unknown, but it is speculated that he is either a friend of the artist's family or his nephew. Looking at all of the shades of blue in this costume, it is plain to see the artist was very skillful in displaying such a vast number of blue hues in this artwork. 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.
