Decorative Fowl Round a Lake With Ducks and Ducklings by a Reeded Bridge

Jan van Kessel, 308 pieces, Optimago.  Standard Optimago with lots of ducks.  3/5

Tulips by Robert John Thornton

497 pieces, Liberty.  This one has dancers in the bulbs of the tulips, which is cute.  3/5

The border had hidden clouds

Puzzle for the Great Western Railway Co.

Chad Valley, 400 pieces. Not quite as interesting cutting-wise as the previous Chad Valley puzzle again (more likely, I just got used to the novelty), but it is nice to see a vintage puzzle that has retained its bright colors.  3/5

Lütcshental, Penelope

250 pieces. Penelope's curvy piece shapes override my general lack of interest in landscapes.  3/5

The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, by Richard Dadd

Liberty, 480 pieces.  A little dark, but the whimsies were the seven dwarves and fairies who ended up in a fairy ring.  3/5

Peach Rose, TurtleTeasers

260 pieces.  The color gradations made this really challenging.  I also liked the four turtles at the corners.  4/5

Tapestries at Blenheim, by Sir Winston Churchill

Liberty, 478 pieces. I'm a huge Churchill fan, but sadly I didn't feel that I learned anything about him or his art by completing the puzzle--sometimes I do see more about how the art works by doing a puzzle.  Great man, but maybe not a great painter.  3/5
