This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Birth of Venus designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows Venus as a grown woman coming into being and riding the ocean waves on a giant clamshell being pulled by a dolphin. Centaurs, putti and nymphs are there to witness the celebration of the birth and arrival of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, while a trail of putti in the air follow in pursuit of the procession. The scene is done in earth tone colors ranging from cream, ecru, ochre and tan to browns, burnt sienna and blush. 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.
