This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Blackman Street, London, designed from a painting by John Atkinson Grimshaw, shows the vibrant nightlife on a London street, and it seems just as busy as during the daytime. This scene takes place during Victorian times, and people are out and about attending concerts, plays, shopping, and doing whatever they do on a busy morning or afternoon. The streets of London never sleep. The artist is a master at creating nightscapes and uses color to make dramatic effects. I love the green color of the nighttime sky, the glow of the street lanterns, and the glow coming from the window shops. The excitement of the city is demonstrated here! 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.
