This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Silver and Gold designed from a painting by Thomas Edwin Mostyn shows a breathtaking, dreamlike garden landscape where vibrant autumn trees frame a tranquil pond. In creating this piece, Mostyn wanted to emphasize the romantic and mystical qualities of nature, using light to transform a simple garden into a stage for a shimmering, ethereal experience. The visual palette is a radiant collection of fiery oranges and molten golds in the canopy, beautifully contrasted by the cool, velvety purples of climbing flowers and the silver-blue reflections dancing on the water’s surface. This pattern is for lovers of Edwardian Romanticism and lush garden art like myself who appreciate the dramatic use of light and the masterful way artists of this era created depth through thick, atmospheric layers of color. The scene captures the essence of a late afternoon in autumn, where the world seems to glow from within just before the sun sets. 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.
