About Forest Road: Sunlight pours through the high canopy, breaking into warm, shifting patches that dance across the forest road. Tall trees rise on either side like pillars, their branches weaving a soft, sheltering ceiling of greens and golds. The path itself is rutted and earthy, guiding the eye gently toward the glowing distance, where a solitary figure walks in calm contemplation. Painted in 1915, this work - Skovvej ved Dyrnæs - reflects Danish artist Poul S. Christiansen's fascination with nature’s spiritual atmosphere and dramatic light. Known for his expressive use of color and his ties to the Fynboerne artists, Christiansen often infused landscapes with a sense of inner life. Here, the forest feels both vast and intimate, its stillness deepened by the soft play of shadow and sun. Every surface seems touched by late-day radiance, giving the scene a serene, almost meditative warmth. The painting captures a moment where time slows, held gently in nature’s luminous embrace. // Image Credit: Poul S. Christiansen, Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main
This beautiful puzzle captures the vibrant shift as summer greens surrender to the golden glow of fall. Leaves ripple in shades of amber, yellow, and russet, weaving together a rich mosaic against a sky brushed with soft clouds. Each tree tells its own story, from the fiery transformation of one to the steadfast green of another, creating a striking contrast of seasonal change. The colors seem to dance in harmony, as if nature herself is painting a farewell to warmth with every brushstroke of light and shadow. It’s a scene that celebrates the beauty of transition, reminding us that change, too, can be breathtakingly beautiful.
Today's puzzle is based on Camille Pissaro's 1872 impressionist oil on canvas painting "Still Life with Apples and Pitcher". Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of St Thomas. He is the only artist to have shown his work at all eight Paris Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886.
Immerse yourself in the intricate textures and earthy tones of this stunning jigsaw puzzle. Each piece reveals the rugged beauty of freshly cut logs, from the coarse bark flecked with patches of green moss to the smooth, golden wood grain exposed on their ends. The cut surfaces showcase mesmerizing growth rings in warm amber and brown hues, creating natural patterns that tell a story of time and resilience. The chaotic arrangement of the logs adds a dynamic challenge, with overlapping shapes and crisscrossing angles drawing your eye to every detail. Hints of pale gray and speckled lichen contrast against the rich, organic tones of the wood, offering a feast of textures to piece together. Scattered sawdust adds depth, while subtle shadows between the logs create a sense of dimension and realism.
Today's puzzle is based on a painting created by the French artist Edouard Manet in 1866. The painting is an example of the still life genre, which depicts inanimate objects such as fruit, flowers, and household items. "Still Life with Melon and Peaches" features a melon on a plate, several peaches in bowl, a bottle, an empty glass, a white rose and a grape on a wooden table. The background is a neutral beige, which creates a sense of calm and serenity and makes the fruit stand out. The painting is a masterful example of Manet’s skill at capturing the beauty of everyday objects.
In this new puzzle we feature some fresh and juicy peaches. These tasty fruits are usually eaten raw or used in jams, preserves or juices. The peach (Prunus persica) tree is native to Northwest China, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It belongs to the genus Prunus, which includes the cherry, apricot, almond, and plum.
"The Artist's Garden at Eragny" by Camille Pissarro, painted in 1898, is a beautiful Impressionist depiction of a lush garden bathed in natural light. The composition features a woman tending to the plants in the foreground, reinforcing the theme of harmony between humans and nature. The garden is abundant with flowers, trees, and crops, creating a vibrant, lively scene full of greenery and warm tones. A house with a grayish-blue roof and chimneys is partially obscured by the foliage in the background, adding depth and a sense of domestic tranquility. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, characteristic of Pissarro’s Impressionist style, capturing the movement of light and air. The sky is soft and bright, filled with gentle clouds that complement the rich textures of the garden.
This illustration featured in today's puzzle showcases four iconic waterbirds: the wood ibis, scarlet ibis, white ibis, and flamingo. The wood ibis, also known as the wood stork, is a large wader with white plumage, a long, curved bill, and striking black flight feathers. The scarlet ibis, native to South America, is renowned for its vibrant red plumage, which it derives from a diet rich in carotenoid pigments found in crustaceans. The white ibis, a common sight in wetlands across the Americas, is easily identified by its white feathers, pink legs, and curved orange bill, ideal for probing mud for invertebrates. The flamingo, with its unmistakable pink plumage and elegantly curved neck, thrives in saline and alkaline lakes, feeding on algae and brine shrimp using its unique filter-feeding beak. While the wood ibis prefers freshwater marshes and swamps, the ibises are more versatile, occupying both coastal and inland wetlands. Flamingos and ibises share a social nature, often gathering in large flocks.
In this new puzzle we feature to cute bridled weasels playing on a log. The bridled weasel (long-tailed weasel or big stoat) is distinct from the short-tailed weasel, also known as a "stoat". The long-tailed weasel is one of the larger members of the genus Mustela in North America. It lives in ground burrows, under stumps or beneath rock piles. It usually does not dig its own burrows, but commonly uses abandoned chipmunk holes. The long-tailed weasel is a fearless and aggressive hunter which may attack animals far larger than itself. Its primary prey consists of mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, shrews, moles and rabbits. Occasionally, it may eat small birds, bird eggs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, earthworms and some insects.
This new puzzle features some fresh tomatoes and asparagus, two nutrient-rich vegetables that are as delicious as they are healthy. Tomatoes, known for their bright red color and juicy texture, are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to numerous health benefits. They are also an excellent source of vitamins C and K, potassium, and folate. Asparagus, with its distinct green spears, is a spring vegetable packed with essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as folate and fiber. It is renowned for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Both tomatoes and asparagus are low in calories, making them ideal for a healthy diet.
Solve today's puzzle and go back in time to a fruit and vegetable market in the 1600s. Based on a painting by the Flemish painter Jan van Kessel the Elder, the image featured in this game depicts a market scene set in the heart of a vibrant 17th-century European town. The canvas is filled with an array of colorful fruits and vegetables, all meticulously detailed, showcasing van Kessel's mastery of still-life composition. On the right side of the picture the young woman selling the fruit and vegetables is depicted talking to a customer.

The beautiful pergola surrounded by orange trees featured in today's puzzle was painted by Thomas Fearnley in oil on paper mounted on canvas in c. 1834. If you didn't know, a pergola is an outdoor garden feature forming a shaded walkway or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions.
