This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Psamathe designed from a painting by Lord Frederick Leighton shows a beautiful young Greek woman who happens to be one of the Nereides sitting on the oceanside shore. Her red hair has been gathered in coils away from her face and she has partially removed her clothing from her shoulders and abdomen leaving the rest of her body draped in white drapery. No one knows what she is thinking right now, but she seems to be calm and is in a peaceful state to trust the idea of being partially nude and alone on the shore. The sheen of her body gleams in the light, and the simplicity of her presence in solitude creates a calm beauty that rivals all others. 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.
