This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Flora designed from a painting by Francesco Melzi shows a serene woman representing the goddess of spring, delicately holding white blossoms against a backdrop of lush, shadowed foliage. The tone of the colors is defined by warm, luminous skin tones that contrast beautifully against the deep, earthy greens of the botanical background and the rich blue of her draped mantle. This pattern is for plant lovers and classical art lovers like myself who appreciate the intricate symbolism of flowers and the quiet dignity of a timeless portrait. The culmination is complete by the heavy silence of a secluded, sun-dappled grotto. 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.
