The chart is for an image that is a circular cross-stitch embroidery, meticulously crafted to resemble a stained-glass window. The overall shape is a perfect circle set against a light beige background, giving a sense of completeness and framing. The artwork's central focus is a dense, thriving wildflower garden. Various flowering plants are densely packed, creating a rich tapestry of colour and texture.
Among the flowers, we see:
* **Purple Flowers:** Deep purple cosmos-like flowers are prominent, their rich colour contrasting beautifully with the surrounding blooms. There are several clusters of purple, smaller flowers that might be lupine or similar species.
* **Yellow Flowers:** Bright yellow daisies and sunflowers, and smaller yellow flowers add warmth and light to the composition. These are interspersed throughout the arrangement.
* **Pink/Red Flowers:** Shades of pink and red are represented by various flowers, including some that resemble zinnias or cosmos, some with a more delicate petal structure. There are darker reddish-burgundy flowers.
* **White Flowers:** Delicate white daisies or similar flowers provide a tranquil counterpoint to the bolder colours.
* **Green Foliage:** The flowers are nestled amongst lush green foliage, intricately stitched to create a realistic depth and texture to the plants.
The background, visible at the top of the circle, subtly suggests a landscape beyond the garden: a soft, hazy sky and a hint of rolling hills or fields. The overall impression is one of a serene, vibrant garden, perhaps even a meadow.
The colour palette is incredibly diverse and rich, with no single colour dominating. The artist has skilfully used varying shades to create a sense of depth and realism. The style is realistic, yet rendered in the stylized manner typical of cross-stitch, giving it a vintage-inspired quality. The mood is peaceful and joyful, evoking feelings of calmness and appreciation for the beauty of nature. The arrangement of flowers feels somewhat chaotic but in a visually pleasing, natural way, much like a real wildflower meadow.
The image is split into 12 pages for publication. Both black and white and colour versions are included to allow the user to use the one they prefer.
