Woodland Encounter

One of the hardest puzzles I’ve ever done. But it’s doable.

Working on it now. Enjoying it so far

I chose this because a reviewer said it was the hardest puzzle he'd ever tried. What was I thinking!? That it would provide the entire family hours of contemplative fun. Should last whole cold snap and maybe beyond.

I was introduced to this artist's work from a good friend whose first name was Bev. I love the interplay between the birch trees and the Native Americans. It pays homage to a noble group of people, as well as the beauty of winter.

All the pieces look alike, with many similar trees, bare ground, and intertwining of the subjects is what makes it challenging. It is a celebration when I find and place a piece! The border is not readily obvious. Quality is good, some pieces of the paper backing stick together, a couple long odd-shaped pieces bent too easily, but over all, I would recommend it. Great painting accurate to the Appaloosa and how they rode with reins.

This is hard but looks great finished. The picture shows how difficult and fun it is.
