A Puzzle of Paint

A Puzzle of Paint by brentdanley.
Yesterday I purchased a 500 piece puzzle at the local bookstore. Amazingly, all the girls contributed to its assembly. Skye did a fantastic job!! It took us about 2 hours.

My SB600 speedlight was next to the puzzle at lower left.

Do yourself a favor and view this one large!

#1 on Explore for Saturday, March 22, 2008!! Thank you everybody.

Wow Brent! Only 2 hours! Not bad at all. Do you line your pieces up or just keep a big pile? Someone told me there is a mathematical formula to building puzzles! Huh?!?!
Nice pic too!

Thank you everybody!! I do love spending quality time with the girls.

I'm not nearly as good as my little brother. He has people send him puzzles without the box so he never even sees the picture. I think I'd get bored if it took any longer so I'll stick with 500 pieces. I can find much better things to do (like take pictures).

After turning all the pieces face-up I gather all the border pieces and put them together. Then arrange chunks by color. Then arrange the chunks and fill in the gaps. It's definitely an algorithmic approach.

A kaleidoscope of color!!! You have more patience than me, I don't think I could even sit 2 hours to do a puzzle.

We didn't sit much. It was a mad race, which made it all the more fun. We were desperately trying to finish it before we had to pick Kirsten up from work. We ran out the door just as soon as the final piece was in position. We were a bit late. :(

That's the way I do it too. I build chunks of the puzzle and place them where they will fit. Still, 2 hours is a great time!

I'm listening to Franz Schuberts Unfinished Symphony No.8 in B minor; as I'm wandering through your photostream. Its a perfect combination; it draws me to the image, making me wish I could pass into it and experience the moment wholly. Still, doing so vicariously is no small thing. Its an enviable record of an enviable moment. A tip of the hat to you for posting such a beautiful photo!
