Janet K. MacKay is a sculptor and painter working out of Worldview Studio and Gallery of Fine Art, located in Ottawa, Ontario. Her oil-on-canvas paintings are vibrant and distinctly Canadian, currently focussing on the dazzling reflections of boats on water — from canoes and kayaks to fishing vessels.

'25-Year Journey' was commissioned as a wedding anniversary gift: a beautiful reflection of their time together as a couple. The commemorative gift was given without fuss or fanfare, no party or evening out on the town to mark the occasion. The painting was hung on the wall while her husband was out walking the dog and surprised him with it upon his return. Sometimes, a simple unexpected gesture is all that love requires...

25 year journey
Beautiful puzzle, challenging and enjoyable. Reminds me of my family cottage in Ontario. Love the back story to this puzzle. Have completed it several times!
Enchanting
I have done several Stumpcraft puzzles and always look forward to the challenge that the next puzzle brings.This one was no exception.It brought back memories of summers in my youth.It was with some sadness when the last piece was put in.Now what? No other puzzles begin to compare for the quality and challenge I highly recommend these puzzles.They are beautiful when glued and framed.

What a joy it is to spent time with this fun , high quality and gorgeous puzzle . After 30 years of puzzling a famous (and amazing ) other, wooden puzzle, brand , I discovered Stumpcraft at the Toronto One of a Kind Show . Since then I have purchased several puzzles and love how it is totally different than the other brand . I love the shapes and the thickness of the pieces . The fact that thy all have a Canadian theme is exceptional !! I hope that in the future I can find a puzzle for each province and territory we have traveled to … maybe each region / city/village. Thank you Stumpcraft ! Listening to an audio book while puzzling is one of my favourite downtimes .
