Frank Johnston Inspired Orenco Originals Counted Cross Stitch Patterns

Enjoy our Counted Cross Stitch Charts Patterns inspired by the works of Frank Johnston

Frank Johnston: The Decorative Traditionalist Johnston was the most financially successful of the group in its early days, largely because his work was the most accessible. He painted incredibly fast, often using tempera instead of oil, which gave his works a flat, precise, and highly decorative quality. Johnston’s meticulous attention to pattern bridges the gap between the raw Canadian wilderness and the precise, illustrative aesthetic of the early 20th century. He left the group after only a few years to pursue a lucrative solo career.
