This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled After the Bath designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows a tall statuesque woman who has just bathed herself in the ocean. She has come ashore and is leaning on a large boulder to dry herself off. The sky is a crisp blue with swirling wispy clouds, and there is a slight breeze coming off the water. A bath like this would certainly be chilly and certainly invigorating to most people, but this woman seems to be used to the temperatures. The colors of blue are very striking and vivid in this scene, and wherever the artist has used blue has resulted in shades of blue that are calm and very pleasing to the eye, and it's certainly worth the 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.
