This 300-piece Water Lilies Puzzleby Today is
Art Dayis high-quality witha durable, round box! I love the
impressionist design by Monet. The blurred image with lots of blue adds an
extra level of challenge. Each puzzle comes in a velveteen drawstring bag
inside of a cylinder (5x3”). The pieces are on the small side at about .75”,
but nice and thick like a traditional, quality puzzle. The finished product
measures 9x12”. I had some concern that the only image you work from is on the
cylinder (and only 2.5x3.5”), so I had to give it a try myself. It is a
challenge, but a good puzzler will figure it out! The shape is perfect for
stockings or baskets. Wrap them like a big piece of candy with ribbons on each
end! It’s a great gift for a hard-to-shop-for person! ~Sara

About Water Lilies Claude Monet’s Water Lilies consist of a series of approximately 250 paintings depicting the artist’s garden at his home in Giverny, France.
In 1893, Monet purchased an adjacent lot and transformed the site into an Asian-inspired oasis of cool greens, exotic plants, and calm waters, enhanced by a Japanese footbridge. In his serial approach, Monet would return to the same view under different weather and light conditions, sometimes working on eight or more canvases in the same day.
In the Today is Art Day puzzle collection, recreate
beautiful Claude Monet paintings one piece at a time. Each 300-piece puzzle comes stored in a
cloth drawstring bag tucked within a cylindrical cardboard container. When
finished, the puzzles each measure 9” x 12”.
