This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Ships in a Turbulent Sea designed from a painting by Johannes Christiaan Schotel shows majestic sailing vessels navigating churning ocean crests under dramatic, cloud-filled skies. Dark clouds are looming on the right side of the scene, while there appear to be lighter areas of clouds as the storm clouds overtake them. As someone who appreciates the raw beauty of the open ocean like myself, I find the salty spray carried on the cold sea wind simply invigorating! Every dynamic stroke captures the power of peak storm light across the cresting waves, making this dramatic maritime scene, no doubt, a true joy to stitch. 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.
