This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Watching and Waiting designed from a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema shows a beautiful young woman sitting in a luxurious room dressed in her finest waiting for that special someone. The anticipation is evident in her posture as she is seen leaning forward in expectation of the intended to appear very soon. Our eyes are drawn to the large vase of violet and blue flowers just off to the left, the ornate large medallion on the open door, the blue pool colors in the background, and at last, the soft pink color in her shawl. This is a gorgeous pattern and would fit well in a foyer, bedroom, hallway leading to the bedroom area, etc. 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.
