This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Waves designed from a painting by Gustave Courbet shows realism and the raw power of nature. His use of colors black, dark green and white to portray the waves highlights their brutal force and symbolize the hardships and struggles of life in the natural world and its harshness sometimes. In this scene the waves are churning relentlessly controlled by unseen forces. The sky overhead seems dismal except thankfully for hope that is represented by a glimmer of light in the mid portion of the sky. 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.
