This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Hylas and the Nymphs designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows Hylas bending over a pond heavily covered with lily pads greeting the nymphs who are flirtatious and vying for his attention and even behaving naughty, which they are known to do. The nymphs love to sing and dance and capture the attention of males who happen to wonder upon them. The Greek word for nymph means "bride." 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.
