Dimensions: 51 cm x 51 cm
Manufacturer: Ceaco, #2381-6, 102214-21081-A
Artist: Jacek Yerka
Original: painting
Puzzle: A fun puzzle depicting a landscape with a great tree in four seasons. The puzzle can be turned to assemble each season in turn, or done partially sideways and upside down. Well-fitting pieces, fun imagery, easily-assembled.

There are lots of good places to start: red and white socks and the sky in the centre, white snow, tree leaves and branches in different colours, border between the sky and the outer frame picturing the land. Great to do with other people sitting around the table, since a part of the puzzle will face each of four directions.

Puzzle: Good puzzle to leisurely put together, even with so many pieces missing (I got it second-hand, and I think this is the most incomplete puzzle I’ve ever assembled). Good places to start are the wizard and dragon’s flame, the boundary of the wings against the background, and the dragon’s head and neck. Wing section borders serve as horizontal guides.

Artist: Judy Gibson: Animals find their natural habitat in the artwork of Judy Gibson, whether depicted in soulful portraits, snuggled in cozy home settings, perched on snow-laden branches or engaged in spirited competition. Born in Paris, Texas, Gibson draws much of her inspiration from her deep love and respect for animals. In her teens, she painted portraits of prize bulls and horses for area ranchers, and still loves painting symbols of the Southwest. She works in oils, and also enjoys the spontaneity of watercolors. Gibson’s heartwarming art has adorned tapestries, jigsaw puzzles, wallpaper, computer screen-savers and numerous other products. [Art.com]

Puzzle: Good regions to start are the white cat, the music sheets, the flower bouquet with the ivy, and the shawl, and the candle holder. The orange separator of the piano lid isolates the top left corner. Flames for the candles and the fireplace are easy to locate, as well as the bust and the wine glass. The keys of the piano, the rug near the fireplace, and the curtain can follow, and the rest of the pieces are trivial to place. Easy and pleasant puzzle to do.
