Hilltop Farm – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Cobble Hill)

Two fieldfares take up the whole of the foreground, perched among berry-laden branches with snow settling on the twigs behind them. It’s a clever bit of composition. The birds are close enough to see every feather marking, while the farm itself plays out in miniature behind: a red pickup truck parked by the barn, children building a snowman, and a flock of dark birds wheeling across a pink winter sky.

There’s plenty going on once you look past the birds. Sheep huddle by a fence, hens peck about near the gate, and someone’s left a wheelbarrow of logs by the farmhouse door with a wreath already up on the wall. The pale winter palette (soft pinks, whites and greys) sits against those bold red berries and the truck, so sorting by colour should help even though the detail in the trees and hedgerows will slow you down in places.

A good one for anyone who likes a farmyard scene with a bit of wildlife thrown in, and the poster included makes reassembling the finer details a bit easier.
