This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Winter Landscape with a Merchant Caravan designed from a painting by Cesar Van Loo shows a long line of horses and pack mules loaded down with goods from merchants engaged in bartering as they deal with harsh winter conditions. The winter winds swirl high above the mountains reaching downward. Notice how small the merchants seem in comparison to the surrounding mountainous terrain. Even in these conditions they have an undying need to persevere to make their living. Winter clouds are streaking the skies in shades of blue and gray and create an interesting yet beautiful landscape to stitch. 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.
