This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Column designed from a painting by Hubert Robert shows a tall, weathered stone monument rising high above a riverbank where figures relax near the water against a sweeping backdrop of distant hills and rolling clouds. The warm afternoon air carries the dry, rustic scent of sun-baked grass and river reeds, capturing the tranquil valley at its peak. Like myself, you will be deeply moved by how the soft light catches the smooth face of the stone tower. People in a canoe are on the water in the distance, while others are near the tower on land, enjoying the view. 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.
