Kit de bordado con abalorios sobre lienzo artístico «Primavera»

“Spring” is a sunny bird scene: a family of blue birds sits on a branch covered in white blossom, with a green garden and several birdhouses around them.

What the picture shows

In the foreground are three adult birds with blue backs and warm ochre breasts, and two fluffy chicks between them. The flowering branch carries the whole lower part of the composition; on the right the blossom climbs upward, on the left a bush with small red berries darkens the corner. Further back there is a yellow-green grassy slope, a white birdhouse on a post, a wooden nesting box and an orange one hanging from the tree, while two more birds circle in the sky. Beads cover the feathers, the blossoms, the berries and the birdhouses; the grass and the blurred trees stay as print, which is exactly what makes the stitched details stand out.
