 What Inspired This Counted Cross Stitch Pattern:

Abbott Fuller Graves, 1859–1936, was an American painter and illustrator who specialized in decorative open-air garden paintings and floral still-life. His use of thick brushstrokes, bright colors, and natural light shows the influence of European impressionism.

Graves’s work can be found in public and private collections across the country, including the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, New York; the Brick Store Museum, Kennebunk, Maine; Ball State University Museum of Art, Muncie, Indiana; the Hermitage Foundation Museum, Norfolk, Virginia; and the Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey.
