This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Red Parasol designed from a painting by Joseph Caraud shows an elegantly dressed woman holding a vibrant red umbrella and a bouquet of flowers as she stands on a stone terrace beside a tranquil pond with swans. The warm summer breeze carries the fragrant, sweet scent of blooming garden flowers, sun-warmed stone, and damp pond water. Like myself, you will be deeply moved by the way the brilliant afternoon sunlight illuminates her flowing terracotta gown and crisp white lace, rendering the soft, classic atmosphere simply breathtaking! No doubt, translating these rich crimson tones and delicate green foliage onto your cloth will offer an incredibly relaxing stitching experience. 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.
