This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Swing designed from a painting by Philip Richard Morris shows a sweet, nostalgic scene of a young boy in a smart grey suit seated on a wooden swing while a golden-haired girl in a white lace dress stands beside him. In this scene, the artist wanted to emphasize the quiet, companionable joy of childhood play and the timeless charm of an afternoon spent in a shaded woodland grove. The colors used are a rich, moody collection of deep forest greens and dark, textured shadows, which beautifully highlight the luminous ivory of the girl’s dress and the soft, natural tones of the children’s skin. This pattern is for lovers of Victorian genre painting and family-themed art who appreciate the delicate rendering of light filtering through trees and the masterful way 19th-century artists captured the personality and poise of young subjects. 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.
