This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Shepherd Playing Flute designed from a painting by Henryk Siemiradzki shows a young shepherd boy leaning against a gnarled olive tree while playing a wooden pipe amid a sunlit hillside landscape. The sound of his flute drifts through the air in this pastoral setting, and I can imagine the warm scent of wild thyme drifting on a soft mountain breeze. The textures, shapes, and positions of the tree trunks are particularly emphasized here, with the gnarliness and twisted curves of the trunks and the rugged bark of the trees visualized in intricate color patterns. 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.
