Puzzle review and assembly walk-through; my impressions of a newly-released puzzle of a mountain landscape painted by Calgary artist Sharon Lynne Williams (about 3800 words; 26 photos)
I like the Sharon Lynn Williams acrylic painting. It's one I wouldn't mind owning and hanging on my wall, though my actually purchasing it at this time isn't likely. Besides its impressionistic quality, I like the fact that the mountain is a recognizable facsimile of Mount Rundle as shown in the photograph later in your posting from a slightly different perspective.
I also like the illustration you have provided of a lenticular cloud.
By the way, I am not surprised that you admire what StumpCraft and Jasen Robillard produce.
Also by the way, I am not bothered by spoiler alerts, nor do I particularly feel I need them when I read your essays, though I'd surely feel differently if you were reviewing novels. Of course, it is a good idea that you include the spoiler alerts; some readers of your essays might care very much that you do.
The way you show us step-by-step your progress with your assembly of "A Different Glory" makes me wonder if the order in which the artist worked on the original painting paralleled at all the order of puzzle assembly—probably not, but the idea intrigues me.

Thank you for your work, Bill.
