This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Boreas designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows a young dark-haired woman wearing draped garments, a blue dress with a gray cloak that is being blown around in the wind. This takes place in spring where daffodils and various other spring flowers are shown intermixed with the tall grass, and the trees appear to be swaying in the wind. According to Greek mythology, Boreas was the god of the north wind, and that is what the picture is named after. 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.
