Mermaid, A

Completed in May 2015, this 796 piece, semi/non-interlocking plywood jigsaw puzzle features a high quality art print of a John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) oil painting, one which evidently formed part of his diploma submission to the Royal Academy of Arts.
In print dimensions, this was my largest puzzle to date and I tried to include as much possible use of the colour line-cutting technique to add some character and challenge to the finished article. I also practiced some changes in the individual piece-shapes to try and mirror content within the various sections of the painting itself.
