This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Feeding the Rabbits designed from a painting by Frederick Morgan shows a delightful scene of a young girl in a ruffled pink dress kneeling in a sun-drenched meadow to feed a group of fluffy white rabbits. In this scene, the artist wanted to emphasize the innocent, nurturing bond between children and animals, a theme that resonated deeply with the Victorian love for idyllic rural life. The visual palette is a vibrant and refreshing collection of soft petal pinks and crisp whites, set against a lush backdrop of meadow greens and the hazy, cool blues of a wildflower field. This pattern is for lovers of Victorian genre painting and animal-themed art like myself who appreciate charming, nostalgic narratives, and how the artist captured the soft texture of fur and the gentle glow of natural light. The scene captures the lively, cheerful essence of a spring morning, where the quiet of the countryside is punctuated only by the soft rustle of clover and the nibbling of happy rabbits. 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.
