This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled A Cool Retreat designed from a painting by John William Godward shows a woman reclining and relaxing by the fountain in her courtyard. It appears to be a hot summer day as we can tell by the fan she uses to periodically cool herself off, and being by the fountain is an added plus if she's trying to keep cool. Pigeons in the background are looking for food, and the day seems to be going so slowly. Anyway, this makes a beautiful pattern to stitch. 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.
