Once There Was a Field by Charley Harper – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Pomegranate)

Charley Harper's field reduced to flat geometry: a bluebird with a rust chest, a banded killdeer, a quail in teal and brown with its topknot curling forward, a black-and-yellow swallowtail, a painted lady, cabbage whites, bees inside orange poppies, purple thistle heads and pink bindweed through the grass.

Hard edges and clean colour make the birds and butterflies quick; the grey-lavender sky and the crossing grass blades take longer. Finished size 63.5 x 50.8cm.
