This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Thames Swans designed from a painting by Thomas Brooks shows four young women out for a ride in their canoe on a Sunday afternoon when they encounter two lovely swans. One woman appears to be sketching the scenery while one has a basket of dried bread, she is throwing out to the swans for them to eat. One is reading a book while the woman closest to her is enjoying hearing the reader's interpretation and thoughts about the book. All of the women appear to be enjoying their outing and seem to cherish their friendship and just being together. The scenery is beautiful, idyllic, and it seems to just draw you right in making you wish you could join this merry crew. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
