This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Charms of Country Life designed from a painting by Francois Boucher shows an idyllic life in a bucolic setting with a group of friends chatting under a tree while sheep roam, but not too far away. In fact, one sheep is on a leash while the others are free to roam. It's a beautiful clear day and what better way than to spend the day in a time of leisure relaxing one's mind and enjoying each other's company. The artist has painted this scene in Rococo style, and the colors used are rich and carefully chosen to give it an antique historic look in correlation with what one might expect for that time in history. It is beautifully achieved here and is well done! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
