This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Venus and Mars with Cupid designed from a painting by Paris Bordone shows an allegorical representation of romance between a man and woman that triumphs over military stealth and prowess. The colors are rich in tone. Of note is the paleness of the woman's skin when compared to that of the man whose skin is bronze from toiling in the sun. 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.
