This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Water Nymphs designed from a painting by Henrietta Rae shows a group of ethereal water nymphs surrounding a young man at the edge of a shaded, lily-strewn pool. The humid air hangs heavily, filled with the thick, cool scent of damp moss, blooming irises, and freshwater lilies catching the afternoon light at its peak beauty. Notice how the soft flesh tones gleam against the deep, mysterious shadows of the ancient forest. The fluid motion of the water and the intense gazes make the scene more realistic. Stitching these intricate reflections and delicate floral details will bring an enchanting sense of mythic wonder to your fabric. 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.
