This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Winter Skating Scene designed from a painting by Louis Remy Mignot shows a lively community gathering on a frozen river, where skaters glide across the ice near a horse-drawn sleigh beneath the shelter of towering, frost-covered trees. The artist succeeds in emphasizing the rhythmic movement of winter leisure and the expansive, chilly beauty of a northern landscape. The visual palette is a sophisticated blend of icy, slate blues and pearlescent greys, warmed by the deep ambers of the carriage and the subtle, rosy glow of a winter sun filtering through heavy clouds. This pattern is for landscape and winter-theme lovers who appreciate the intricate detailing of bare branches and the atmospheric depth of the Hudson River School style. The summation of the scene captures the silence of a cold afternoon, energized by the distant sound of blades cutting across the glass-like ice. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
