This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Comparisons designed from a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema shows two women who are friends engaged in an act of leisure with one reading an excerpt from a book while the other listens. Although the colors here are subdued for the most part, there is definitely a comparison and contrast between light and dark colors as noted in the curtains by the window and the rest of the scene. This scene not only makes a person want to pick up a book an read, but it makes a person want to get out a needle and stitch this lovely piece. 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.
