A few months ago Dale and I bought a dozen used Wysocki puzzles from someone in town. I think they were decluttering after the Covid years when jigsaw puzzles were all the rage. So over the weekend we put another one together.
It's unusual for a Wysocki image because it's primarily a single building rather than an entire town. It's called Pickwick Cottage. Dale did the original sort, put the border together, and constructed most of the cottage.
I jumped in then and concentrated on the sky and water. I enjoy doing the gradients. Then we both put the road and greenery together. This illustration has many of Wysocki's charming details, including an American flag, of course.
This artist usually has neighbors greeting one another, and a dog, and a cat. This puzzle was not an exception.
Wysocki added in a random gal sitting alone in a rocking chair on the front lawn, watching the world go by. (And look! No cell phone in her hand!)
It wouldn't be a Wysocki without at least one prancing horse pulling a carriage.
Dale said he'd like to do one puzzle per week during these wet months, so expect many more Wysocki's - and other puzzles - to come.
