This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Awaiting His Return designed from a painting by Hans Andreas Dahl shows a woman sitting on the shore waiting for her husband to return from his long voyage of fishing. The clouds are hanging low over the fjords and there are various areas of fog circling the mountainous terrain. The scenery is very colorful. The mountains appear purple, and their reflection is magnified upon the calm waters. The land and shore are ochre or mustard in color, and the white wisps of clouds appear like cotton in the air. This landscape is certainly worth the stitch! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
