After the difficulties with that lovely cat, I didn’t really feel like puzzling for a while. This was a nice one to get back into it. Really enjoyable and relaxing to do. The reddish floor and wallpaper background and all that blue dress were a bit tricky, but not too hard. Nice to see the actual brushstrokes of the original painting, I often used that visual texture to place the pieces. Very few false fits. I like this puzzle brand, even though the piece shapes are very standard. The linen feel of the pieces and their sturdiness and all the fine art images are great. The 1,000- piece Pomegranates I’ve done before had quite small pieces, in contrast these felt quite large- I feel like the ideal would be a size in between, but no complaints otherwise!
Like the Peeping Toms, the picture here is so soft, the edges of the pieces themselves seem to stand out and almost overwhelm the image. But in this case it didn’t bother me much.
Completed size 18 x 26″.

That’s a nice find. The pieces do seem to stand out a lot in contrast to the image, but I think you’re right about that being more the fault of the image colors than the cut of the pieces themselves. That bothers me in the more detailed images but not so much in one like this painting. Nice job.
It’s one of the best puzzles I’ve ever found at a thrift store!
