This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Cupid's Secret designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows a young woman (Psyche) falling under Cupid's spell of love. They are in a woodland setting leaning on a large marble vessel engaging each other with knowing smiles, and soon Psyche will become bewitched by her suitor. Their bodies look almost luminescent in this scene. 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.
