This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled On the Thames, A Heron designed from a painting by James Tissot shows two young women in a rowing boat on a quiet river watching a large heron skim across the water's reflection. The area is dark and dramatic, with the blazing glow of red-leafed trees and shrubs in the background giving beauty to the scene as the women are studying the heron in front of them only a few feet away. As someone who appreciates serene waterscapes like myself, I find the crisp scent of damp river grass and cool afternoon air drifting on a gentle breeze quite satisfying! Every delicate shadow captures the quiet harmony of peak autumn light in this scenic river moment. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
