This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Vertumnus and Pomona designed from a painting by Francois Boucher shows that according to Roman Mythology, the Roman god Vertumnus has turned himself into an elderly woman in order to get close enough to seduce Pomona, the goddess of fruit. The temptation to seduce Pomona was brought on by her vow of chastity which made her all the more irresistible to Vertumnus. The colors used here are very rich intone, striking and deliberately dramatic which help to convey a sense of desperation that Vertumnus would go to such great lengths to achieve his goal in the name of lust. 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.
