This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Boreas and Oreithyia designed from a painting by Evelyn De Morgan shows the dramatic mythological moment where Boreas, the winged god of the north wind, sweeps the nymph Oreithyia off her feet amidst a swirling tempest of clouds and drapery. In creating this piece, the artist wanted to emphasize the raw, elemental power of nature and the overwhelming force of divine will, capturing the kinetic energy of the wind through the turbulent motion of the figures' robes. The colors used are a sophisticated blend of stormy steel blues and charcoal greys, contrasted by the warm, luminous skin tones of the subjects and the bright, fluttering whites of the entwined fabric. This pattern is for lovers of Greek mythology and Pre-Raphaelite art who appreciate bold, muscular compositions and the masterful depiction of movement and atmosphere. 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.
