This fine art counted cross stitch pattern, entitled A Gleam Before the Storm by Benjamin Williams Leader, shows a rustic landscape with a main cottage and a nearby stream under imminent stormy skies that are showing brightness just before the storm. The striking and vibrant colors are absolutely gorgeous, and the resolution of the pattern's colors almost makes it look like a photographic image. This would be a beautiful pattern to stitch for your dining room, family room, or study, depending on your color scheme in those rooms. In any case, it is sure to brighten the area wherever it is placed (hopefully in an area of prominence) and is well worth showing off. 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.
