Chocolate Lab Water’s Edge
made by Ceaco ~ artist Mark Fredrickson ~ 550 pieces
Although I am finding that I’m not a fan of Ceaco puzzles in general (the piece cut is always the same, and hurts my skin, and the pictures are often very bright and “busy” for lack of a better word) I really like this image. The details are great. It’s one where there’s so much going on, but relatively subtle- other little animals in the background, the dog looking so intense and alert but not noticing the bird alongside, the fish darting away from his paws (I feel like I should recognize what species this is, but I don’t. Bass?)
There’s also a frog, turtle, ducks, and a snail in there.
And a hummingbird, pulling a tuft of fiber out from the cattail.

Chocolate Lab 2
made by Ceaco ~ artist Mark Fredrickson ~ 550 pieces
While this one was fun, I’m not quite as keen on it as the other. This lab leaping through a stream just looks so goofy with wild excitement. I feel the same about the puzzle quality itself as the companion one. The fur texture is just incredibly detailed. This one has lots of animals in the background- some looking quite alarmed- a heron, owl, some kind of rosy passerine bird, two deer, a frog, turtle, squirrel, three skunks, a bear,
fox
and a raccoon barely visible, hurrying away through the trees.
Purchased new. Completed on 1/15/24. 20 x 20″.
