This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Early Summer designed from a painting by William Trost Richards shows a serene, sun-dappled forest clearing where tall, leafy trees frame a quiet pond and distant cattle graze in the golden light. The warm afternoon air carries the sweet, rich scent of damp earth and fresh clover, capturing the quiet meadow at its peak of beauty. I hope you are deeply moved as I am by the way the brilliant sunlight filters through the dense canopy to illuminate the forest floor. The vision of such natural loveliness makes you want to just walk right into the scene and accept the invitation if only possible. 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.
