I felt a bit dubious about doing the last four puzzles in this box, the 500-piece ones. I thought if the 300’s drove me so crazy with all the false fits, this would just have more of that. But actually, they were okay. The pieces felt sturdier, I think a tad larger than in the 300 puzzles. The sky wasn’t too bad. A few false fits, but peering close I could actually see the paint stroke texture from the original painting, and figure out which ones went where. I didn’t mind the close concentration of that, with some music in the background. This one has brighter colors, which made putting it together actually kind of enjoyable again. I struggled with the path- had to rearrange the part below the turkeys several times (and move them up in the picture) before I got it right. Plus the bottom edge was wrong in a few places. And the textured fields, the grass splashed with sunshine, all that abstract tree foliage- okay, there were plenty of areas that slowed me down! But I liked it this time.
