Paradise Birds by Olena Skytsiuk – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Pomegranate)

Fantastical birds with fanned tails crowd a slate-grey ground, their plumage built from cobalt scallops edged in gold, scarlet feathers and curling orange fronds. Red-capped toadstools, a spotted cat, a coiled snake and a blue horse run along the bottom. Olena Skytsiuk paints in Petrykivka, the Ukrainian folk style she learned from her parents.

The blue fans repeat constantly, so sort by the gold edging and the small red accents rather than by shape. Finished size 73.6 x 50.8cm.
