They are active in the day and generally considered to be intelligent. The two major types of monkeys are New World Monkeys (Central and South America) and Old World (Africa and Asia) monkeys. Monkeys also have tails, which apes such as gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans do not. Popular types of monkeys include Squirrel, Macaque, Capuchins, Howler, Spider, Woolly, Owl, Marmosets, Tamarins, Givet, Green, Silver, Blue, Roloway, Vervet, Mona, and Mandrill. You find many great photographic patterns of expressive monkeys in this set including Capachin, Japanese Macaque, Mona Monkey, Grivet Monkey, Golden Lion Tamarin, Mandrill, Black Howler, and Squirrel Monkey.

Daffodils are part of a larger family of spring plants known as Narcissus which have over 150 documented species. These plants have six petal-like tepals along with a cup or trumpet-shaped corona. You can find daffodils in just a few colors including white, yellow, orange, and pink. Also the tepals and corona can be in the same or contrasting colors. Daffodils are grown from bulbs which have a life of about 4 years. They bloom in the early spring and are a popular choice in many gardens and in cut flower arrangements. Our Daffodils pattern set contains many patterns created from natural photographs of daffodils individually and grouped, against blue skies and grassy fields. Many of the daffodils are photographed close up to show incredible detail in their shapes and coloring.

Windmills are structures that convert wind power into rotational energy. This energy is applied to grind grain, pump water, or generate electricity. Windmills are generally oriented vertically, but through history some horizontal designed windmills are documented. The vanes of the windmill are called sails or blades and are covered with a satin cloth or wooden shutters. Most windmills have four sails, but designs with as many as eight sails can be found. In the Netherlands the positions of the sails in non-working windmills, can signal joy or mourning. Our Windmill pattern set contains designs created from photographs of windmills in various environments including clear and cloudy skies, grassy fields, along water ways and roads, and with sunrises in the background.

Forests are large areas of land covered with trees or other woody vegetation. They are the dominant ecosystem on our planet. They can contain many species of trees or just be dominated by only a few. Forests can be classified into 26 types depending on their elevation, climatic zones, and types of trees. You’ll find an assortment of forest patterns in this set created from amazing high resolution photographs which depict forests in different seasons, weather, and lighting conditions. A wide range of colors and incredible details gives these patterns a special look when completed.

A sunset (also referred to as a sundown) is the daily disappearance of the sun below the horizon. When the sun is high in the sky, the path of light through the atmosphere is shorter allowing for more bluish colors to be visible. At sunrise and sunset, the path of the light through the atmosphere is longer which removes the bluish colors and shows more orange and red hues. Also sunset colors are usually more brilliant than sunrise colors, because the air in the evening contains more particles than in the morning. Volcanic eruptions and high altitude clouds can also enhance the colors in a sunset. Finally, a green flash at sunset can be seen at sunrise and sunset for just a second or too. Our Sunset Hues patterns are created from a selection of photographs which show sunsets over beaches, lakes, forests, skylines, and silhouetted behind trees.

Barns are agricultural buildings located in farmlands. Their uses are varied – housing livestock, storing crops and equipment, and providing a covered work space. Barns have been traditionally painted red for many centuries, a custom which has unknown origins. Some theories attempt to explain this by suggesting that farmers added blood of a recently slaughtered animal to the linseed oil used for paint. Another theory is that farmers added rust to the old as a way to kill off moss and mold. When paint became more available, farmers choose red as a way to honor the traditional. Barns are sometimes painted in a whitewash if the cost of the paint is a factor. Our pattern set of Barns are based on some creative photographs showing these structures in various lighting and weather conditions. These weathered barns are shown back dropped against clear and cloudy skies with crop fields, grassy pastures, wooded fences, country roads, and horses nearby.
