This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled In the Pontine Marshes designed from a painting by Arnold Bocklin shows the beauty of the marsh with a large tree that dominates the scene and vegetation that is next to a large area of rocks. The reddish color of the soil looks to be clay-like mixed with other colors that are more sandy. There is a darkness or hollowed out area of the tree indicating a portion that has begun the natural process of decay over time which is perfectly normal. Even though this process is taking place, it seems to add an air of drama and beauty to the scene. The sky is colorful with pastel blues, greens and puffy white clouds masked with beige. 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.
