You can easily find Monet Cross Stitch Patterns

By: John Wigham
 

Any fine art lover will tell you that there are some artists that epitomize a particular genre of painting. Claude Monet, the grandfather of the impressionist movement, is one such artist. If you love his paintings and you love to cross stitch, you'll be pleased to know that you can now find Monet cross stitch patterns based upon the wonderfully colorful paintings. It doesn't matter if you are not able create paintings like Monet's, through these cross stitch patterns you can capture feel and drama of his paintings while at the same time creating a treasure for yourself and your family to enjoy.

Through cross stitch, you can capture the drama of his paintings and create a keepsake for your family. These patterns can be a little complicated and may take some time to finish, so you'll want to choose a painting you love.

Do you find yourself gravitating toward people when you choose a pattern? If so, Monet's Ballet Rehearsal might be a good first choice. The painting, which depicts a ballerina preparing for rehearsal, is lovely and would make a good first choice for a project. Monet's paintings, including Terrace at Sainte-Adresse, can be found as cross stitch patterns on several websites, many of them on sale.

The Woman with Parasol is a painting of a woman holding a parasol as she walks through a field of flowers. The shading and coloring in this painting are breathtaking. You'll enjoy working on this cross stitch project since Monet captured with equal skill both the beauty of nature and the beauty of the young woman.

The River is another of Monet's most famous paintings. This painting depicts a young woman sitting on the bank of a river. The houses on the opposite bank are reflected in the river's water. The painting contains a great deal of detail and color variations. Once stitched, it creates a glorious piece of artwork suitable for any room in your house.

Perhaps you enjoy landscapes more. How about his famous painting, Irises? This lovely painting translates very well into a cross stitch pattern. The blues, purples, and greens create a truly memorably keepsake that you and your family will cherish. You also may enjoy his painting of Yellow Irises. It, too, features beautiful colors and exquisite detail.

If you're like me, and very colorful cross stitch projects pique your interest, then Artist's Garden at Giverny is perfect for you. Monet planted a garden at his house in Giverny. Over the years, he painted every aspect of this garden many times. All of these works brilliantly depict the vibrant colors that grew there.

Many people love Monet's water lilies paintings. You can find cross stitch patterns for most of these paintings, including his White Water Lilies. What's interesting about all of the water lilies patterns is that they capture not only the beauty of the flowers, but also the shading depths of the water in the pond.

Another favorite series of Monet's paintings that has been converted to cross stitch patterns are his Japanese paintings. The Japanese Footbridge uses a variety of colors and ends up being a true work of art once you're finished stitching.

Since Monet's paintings are large and detailed, you might want to consider getting a pattern with larger type. Not only will this help those with difficulty reading the pattern, it will also alleviate some of the eye strain caused by the detail of the Monet cross stitch patterns.

You can't go wrong with Monet cross stitch patterns. He was one of the world's most gifted artists. When you finish a Monet pattern cross stitch project, you'll have an heirloom to be treasured for many happy years to come.
