This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Afternoon Along the River designed from a painting by Emile Claus shows children playing in the tall grass by the river's edge as they watch the musings of an adult that is in a canoe. A tree with many twigs showing signs of early spring blooms not yet fully opened dominates the scenery. Groups of adults are in the background working in the fields, but this is a day of idyll, play and rest for the children. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
