This puzzle features one of Roland Gissing's favorite scenes: a tranquil forest setting covered in fresh snow, with the magic hour sunset glow casting a hazy golden light on tree branches and the edges of a flowing creek. Whimsies feature the Gissing family brand, typical winter activities (skiing, snowshoeing, snowflakes) as well as animals & birds commonly found wintering in southern Alberta.
Born in England in 1895, Roland Gissing arrived in Canada during the spring of 1913. Eventually Gissing established a homestead in 1919 at the confluence of the Ghost and Bow Rivers, west of Cochrane, Alberta. His art reflects the vastness of the West's rolling foothills and the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. As a result, Roland Gissing has become one of Western Canada's most popular landscape painters.

“Glowing” review
I do puzzles without looking at the picture so the first time particularly is challenging. This puzzle was the perfect size and challenge for my taste, and I still have found it challenging to do in subsequent constructions. The whimsies are great and as always relevant to the puzzle’s image. It’s a great painting too - a great puzzle.
Urban treehouse
I loved how uniquely the pieces are cut. You think you know the shape you're trying to find and it's nothing like what you thought. They are so well made. I'll pull it again in a year as I don't think you'll ever find it "easy" to put together. I've already purchased my next challenge.
Sunset glow
Such a unique creation..beautiful photo with amazing shapes in each piece. A lovely change from traditional puzzles. If you enjoy puzzling give StumpCraft a try!!
Always an Excellent Challenge
We have built a number of Stumpcraft's puzzles, and this one was an increased challenge, simply due to the fewer colours in the image. But this is not a bad thing as it provides another way that these rewarding puzzles challenge the builder. You'll never be bored with these!
Finding unique pieces
I worked on this in the quiet of morning with coffee and at night with a glass of wine. Who needs TV. We bought one for our daughter, and traded. Christmas is coming and we are looking at 2 more. I would recommend these puzzles to everyone I know ( and have done that).
