This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Seals on the Rocks Farallon Islands designed from a painting by Albert Bierstadt shows a group of seals perched on rocks basking in the lively waves and sea mist that is stinging the air with a tingling shower of spray. The seagulls are joining in the excitement circling the seals. From the upper right corner the clouds are ominous and the sky as darkened perhaps in preparation for an impending storm. A large wave is approaching the direction of the seals, and we wonder whether they will be washed off their perches or will they cling on. This scene is full of action and lively ocean drama, but the beauty shines forth making it the perfect scene for animal lovers and lovers of maritime themes. 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.
