And We Are Trying Cross Stitch Pattern

Description

And We Are Trying cross stitch pattern was inspired by a mystical Russian artist, philosopher, and peace activist Nicholas Roerich. The painting is part 3 of the Sancta Series — 6 paintings symbolising a spiritual journey.

It’s a striking image of three monks at the river fetching water. Their backs, bent under heavy load, are silhouetted by a bright yellow sunrise and the the long walk uphill to the monastery.

What we love about this painting is the celebration of peace, acceptance, and physical strength. It will look amazing on your wall.

The Artist

Nicholas Roerich lived between 1874 and 1947 and was famous in his own country for painting scenes from ancient history (look for the Viking and Slavs series in the shop).

In his later years he travelled extensively through India, Mongolia and Asia, capturing the essence of the Indian and Nepal Himalayas — as well as themes and symbols from the world’s great religions. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism.

What we particularly love about the artworks of Nicholas Roerich is the way they evokes a deep sense of peace, tranquility and stillness. Perfect for cross stitch.
