This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Garden of Hesperides designed from a painting by Sir Frederick Leighton, according to Greek Mythology, it shows three nymphs resting under a large tree and a serpent is lying across one of the nymphs. The snake was sent by Hera as she did not trust the nymphs around her apple trees. The nymphs also have the gift of song and one of them is holding an instrument. Their music is very powerful to all who hear it. 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.
