Esquema para bordar con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico (sin abalorios) «Hierbas del prado»

“Meadow grasses” shows tall wild flowers on the shore of still water, painted lightly and transparently.

What the picture shows

The foreground is filled with blossoms on slender stems: pink umbels, lilac and crimson spikes, small blue and white flowers rising almost to the top edge. Thick green grass with yellow stalks shows between them. A gap is left in the middle, opening onto the calm water of a bay, with a low sandy-green shore and a band of hills beyond. The sky is pale blue with soft white clouds. The whole palette is pastel, without sharp contrasts. Coverage is partial: the flowers and grasses are beaded, while the sky, the water and the distant shore stay as print on the canvas.
