Reilly Fitzgerald is a prolific folk artist depicting quintessential small town maritime life in Newfoundland. You can find his art at Eagle Photo Studio, his daughter Kaeleigh's shop in Clarenville, NL.
Reilly's friend and patron Ray, who is depicted in 'Fishing for Halibut', lives with his spouse in La Poile, NL. La Poile is an isolated community on the SW coast of NL, not accessible by road and is served by a ferry from a port in nearby Rose Blanche. Apparently, about 60 people live in La Poile (as of 2021).
This puzzle is packaged in a circular tin and can be purchased individually or in the bundle of all 3 Reilly mini puzzles.
We launched our mini puzzle series in 2022 to wide acclaim. We are adding more of these to our lineup to bring an even wider range of Canadian fine art to our puzzle catalog offerings.
Our mini puzzles provide a bite size taster of what StumpCraft has to offer. They're awesome for hospitality gifts, puzzling on flights or road trips, corporate gifting or breaks in your lunch room with coworkers.

CanadaAnother delightful puzzle from Stumpcraft
I really enjoy the mini puzzles - and they are more challenging than you might think given the low piece count. After it’s assembled, there’s a second activity to enjoy: finding all the whimsies. Thankfully there is “deep dive” information on the Stumpcraft web site which lists all the whimsies to guide your efforts. In this instance, I totally missed Labrador and Newfoundland - sneaky.

We both were amazed at the quality and originality of the pieces. Beautifully done. If he had smaller hands/ fingers I think he would have been less frustrated putting it together but he persisted and completed it on his own on Boxing Day!
