    Wow, what a great find, and your description of this scene completely transported me into the image 🤩 But I can see myself also finding this completion process very challenging, especially with those piece shapes and muted color tones.

      Greetings @thepuzzledmandy oh so nice to get a comment from you! Glad you were able to be transported too, it’s such a fantastic image isnt it! But indeed it was a bit on the ‘frustratingly challenging’ side 😂 but i got there at the end, this one took me 14hrs to complete btw. But i loved it! Thx again Mandy, very cool that u took a min to come by!

    There's nothing like a history buff to describe an ancient scene. Your passion and love for the work come through in your words, and you convey them with great success. Many thanks for this historical tour. It was truly informative and captivating.
    As for the puzzle, it's just splendid. I don't doubt for a second that you spent hours on it with all those faded colors. But the result was really worth it!
    Thanks for a great time!

The puzzle pieces - i was just saying this on another comment reply- i should show more of the real struggle instead of quickly run past it on the video- it was real haha , that part with the tree almost made me give up!

    Stunning image! I think a random cut is always more challenging. Great job working with such a limited color palette. The music went perfectly with the image. I think sometimes we get so involved in completing a puzzle that we don't pay a lot of attention to what is included in the image. Nice video.

    • @RicPuzzles
      @RicPuzzles  Год назад

      Hello Lavernehodge, thx for checking this one out, so cool that you enjoyed it. Every time there is a limited colour scheme i freak out a bit but it worked out (eventually ) hehe. And hey thx for the feedback! Means a lot to me to know what works and what doesn’t. Funny you mention the music - i always build a video around the songs not the other way around - thats the first part of the process for me it determines the direction and mood of the videos! Which worries me a little too as a lot of people watch with no sound oh nooooooo!! Glad it came together nicely in your opinion 😀 thx again!!

    Well that was some puzzle and thankfully no missing pieces. 👍 How exciting to find one of that vintage. Seeing that jogged my memory so I checked my puzzle list and found I had done two jigsaws with that type of cut. The Death of Nelson and The Battle of Waterloo, both about 350 pieces, and I have a date of 1973 for those. I think they were the only ones Waddington did as a scroll shape. If you google them and go to images you should come up with them from Flickr. 😃

    Did you know Hendrik Avecamp was a mute? (That he could not speak, i am not sure if 'mute' is the correct word for that.)
    Here in the Netherlands there is a historic childrens book about him 'de stomme van Kampen' ('the mute of Kampen') written by a very popular childrens book writer Thea Beckman. He is not a very well known painter here but I imediately recognised 'that must be by a Dutch painter.' 😊
