This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Present designed from a painting by Thomas Cole shows that the opulence seen in the painting entitled The Past has vastly faded or is even gone. The result is that nature has taken over invading every nook and cranny. and once was sheer opulence is now a state of digression from those standards. Since most grassland has returned, a shepherd is there watching his sheep graze under a fast approaching sunset. This scene represents the inevitable and steady progression of time and civilization decline when nature takes us back to a simpler vine. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
