This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Clearing Up, Coast of Sicily designed from a painting by Andreas Achenbach shows a severe storm taking place on the water as the Seagulls struggle to preserve their flight patterns in the stormy winds. A shipwreck has occurred in the foreground and some of its cargo are afloat in the water. Signaling that a clearing is about to take place, the golden glow of the sun is partially masked behind a cloud and is waiting for the storm to subside. Such drama deserves to be preserved with thread on canvas. This is a gorgeous scene! 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.
