This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Owl designed from a painting by Valentine Cameron Prinsep shows a serene, red-haired woman in a dark gown gently cradling a beautiful barn owl against her chest. The quiet dusk carries the cool, damp scent of ancient woods and soft feathers, catching the twilight at its peak beauty. Notice how the pale plumage of the creature glows against the deep shadows, making this shared moment of trust very prominent. No doubt, stitching the subtle transitions from her radiant profile to the intricate, mottled wings will bring a wonderful sense of peace and natural mystery to your needlework collection. 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.
