A cross stitch pattern based on Vincent van Gogh's Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase that is both exciting and challenging. As with many experiences in life, the more challenging the process, the more satisfying the outcome. Tackling a full coverage cross stitch pattern may be different than other cross stitch patterns that you have attempted. It may be different in respect to length, complexity, or style.
This still life is not mentioned in Van Gogh’s letters and has puzzled scholars as to its place in his artistic production. The subject enjoys a certain rapport with the mixed bouquets of summer flowers he made in Paris; the quasi-abstract floral wallpaper design in the Berceuse of Arles (1996.435), and the white porcelain vase in the Irises of Saint-Rémy (58.187). However, the palette and style of this painting, especially its distinctive blues and ochers and graphic, brick-shape hatchings, link it firmly with the landscapes made just prior to his death in Auvers on July 29, 1890.
