This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled A Summer Rose designed from a painting by Francois Martin-Kavel shows a beautiful young woman with a thoughtful expression, her hands clasped at her chin, while pink roses adorn her sapphire-blue gown. The artist wanted to emphasize the fleeting, delicate beauty of youth and the soft elegance of blooming flora against silken fabric. The colors are dominated by a rich, luminous sapphire-blue that provides a striking contrast to the tender, blush-pink petals and the creamy, porcelain glow of the subject’s skin. This pattern is for romantic art lovers like myself who appreciate graceful femininity. The scene captures the atmosphere of a late-summer garden at the golden hour of twilight. 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.
