This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled In the Orchard designed from a painting by Franz Dvorak is an allegorical work of art that represents the passage of time in that beauty is fleeting and will eventually disappear as we age and accept our aging gracefully as a part of life. The youth of beauty is represented by spring but mainly summer with an abundance of fruits and flowers. This is a very bright and colorful pattern to stitch and there is nothing boring about it! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
