Claude Monet, The Artist's Garden at Vétheuil

 Liberty, 480 pieces. As always, Impressionist images as puzzles really highlight how different juxtapositions mean different color perceptions regardless of what's actually "there." This one stays reasonably hard all the way through because of the mixed colors. 3/5

Unfrogettable

 Stave, 85 pieces. A fun two-heart Treat with great colors. 6/10

Orchids in East Window, Janice Larson

 Liberty, 548 pieces. I don't love lots of brown in a puzzle, but there was enough variety here to make it work. 3/5

Birger Sandzén, Creek at Twilight

 Artifact, 319 pieces. Very pretty colors. 3/5

Mary Benson, Sheltering Branches

 Artifact, 184 pieces. The art style works well with the repeating spiral pattern of the pieces--it's more difficult than the piece count suggests. 3/5
