Lovely puzzle from Stumpcraft<\/a>, Tom Thomson’s “Soft Maple in Autumn” — sneaky puzzle cutting from Jasen Robillard, too; lots of little “fishies” cut out that made shapes look like they would take a convex instead of a concave (or vice versa). I particularly liked the unusual canoe cutout of a person carrying a canoe on their head (“Mr Canoehead”) …. See also: Stumpcraft Deep Dive on this puzzle<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoefnagel! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not formerly part of the Group of Seven, most Canadians recognize Tom Thomson’s oeuvre and correctly attribute his influence and association with this group of elite artists. Soft Maple in Autumn features the beautiful orange, yellow and red hues associated with the fall colours of Algonquin Park. Jigsaw puzzlers will appreciate the autumn in Algonquin Park themed whimsies, including the elusive hero known as Mr. Canoehead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
