This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Flower Still Life designed from a painting by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder shows a collection of flowers in pastel colors in a crown-shaped wicker basket. Some of the flowers are strewn on the table in front of the basket. A colorful butterfly has alighted near the gold and crimson tulip, and a dragonfly has just landed on the table. From the types of insects shown in the scene, this is a clear indication that these insects were definitely attracted to these specific flowers. The darkness of the shadows in the upper part of the scene provides a dramatic play of light versus dark. This pattern would be fine with or without a frame. 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.
