This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Voyage of Life - Youth designed from a painting by Thomas Cole shows the intermediate stage of life of the fearless youth full of determination, bold aspirations and energy while standing at the helm of a small boat steering it towards a castle made of clouds which symbolizes youthful goals. Although the waters are calm, in this scene, despite future turbulent waters that lie ahead, the youth will have to figure out a way to handle it, and it will be approached with gusto and verve, but may not have the wisdom attained when one reaches old age. The landscape is lush and green indicative of the state of youthfulness many of us who are past that point yearn for. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
