Colorado Autumn, Peter Kunasz

 Artistry, 141 pieces. It's been a while, but Artistry is still well-done. 3/5

Roman Art Marine Life Mosaic of 2d Century B.C. Naples, Italy

Artistry, 494 pieces.  Very difficult puzzle mostly due to limited color scheme, with fish/whale/dolphin whimsies, some of them multipiece. I liked the swirly connectors between the parts of the whimsies.  3/5

Landscape with House and Plowman by Van Gogh 1889, artistry

500 pieces.  Another fun one--the colors ran into each other in ways that made putting it together a pleasant challenge.  3/5

starting out

whimsies: many many birds and some boats

different chunks of color

coming along

whoops I had it upside down; note flock of ducks at bottom

done!

Haeckel, Botanical Illustration 1904, Artistry

350 pieces.  The image made this one fun to do--just complicated enough to keep me intrigued.  3/5

starting out

whimsies--birds, mushrooms, snakes (snakes worked particularly well in the puzzle)

progress

finished

Sunset at Sea by Childe Hassam, Artistry

500 pieces.  Multipiece boat whimsies!  A pleasant challenge.  3/5

starting out

lots of boat pieces and fish, also otters, beavers(?) and birds

Getting there

Almost done

Finished

Bluebells at Dockey Wood on the Ashbridge Estate, Artistry

500 pieces.  Elaborate multi-piece trees take center stage here--that created some interesting surfaces.  3/5

starting out

Individual whimsies (mostly)

Tree-pieces

Bluebells mostly assembled

Now the trees are together

close to the end

Finished

Geraniums by Childe Hassam, Artistry

576 pieces. The other Artistry puzzle that just didn't work for me; I found the picture too muddy.  Nice whimsies though--a good illustration of the multi-piece whimsies that make Artistry different from most Liberty puzzles.  2/5

Starting out

Whimsies

Partway done

Done

Multi-piece clock whimsy

Black Cat On Windowsill by Konstantin Korovin, Artistry

Unfortunately, sometimes a picture just doesn't work well for me.  Here, I'm not sure whether it's the print or the underlying colors, but the colors were just so muddy that I didn't really enjoy the experience.  

2/5

Starting out

Garden and cat-themed whimsies

Finished with window

About halfway

Done

Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, Artistry

502 pieces.  A classic for a reason.  (Other than being in the public domain, that is.)  3/5

Starting out, with aids

Mostly done

Finished

Sailboats on the River Scheldt, Artistry Puzzles

Artist: Theo Van Rysselberghe, 510 pieces.  I did this from the bottom (or was it the top?) up, which proved interesting.  Multipiece whimsies included several sailboats (visible at top).  3/5

starting out

getting closer; salboats incorporated

Almost done

Complete, with a different orientation

The bird flying in the top right corner isn't supposed to be highlighted, but the laser cutting leaves enough marks that it stands out--Artistry does a lot of little frilly bits that require a looser cut than Liberty.

Hummingbird Illustration, Ernest Haeckel, Artistry

493 pieces. Birds!  This was the first Artistry puzzle I've done that arrived with a broken piece--one of the very thin hummingbird beaks snapped off.  Certainly a risk with pieces that narrow.  3/5

starting out

closeup on the whimsies, mainly birds

Nearly there

Finished, with observer/assistant
