Silent Communion by Graeme Shaw

Graeme approaches life and art with a grounded and spiritually-rooted sense of humility. Through his art, he invites us into serene moments among the hundred-year-old trees and the stone-faced monuments that have withstood millennia of tectonic shifts and erosion. The vastness and variety of natural landscapes in Graeme's profilic artwork point to our limited human experience, to how little we know but also to our grandest potential.
In Silent Communion, Graeme asks us to shift our gaze across the horizons, beyond the foreground and to the highest peaks. By looking into the distance and by raising our sights, we can improve our "ken" - the fullest capacity of our vision, perception, understanding, and knowledge. Our potential is only limited by our gaze and the courage to walk through the valleys in order to climb to the vistas where our highest potential resides.
So find a comfy rock to sit on, enjoy some trail mix while you take in the view and map out your path. You'll know when it's time to start climbing...

CanadaAwesome puzzle
Sincerest makes amazing puzzles with gorgeous artwork. Thank you to both the artist and puzzle designer. My daughter and I really enjoyed working on this puzzle. We found all the whimsies, too. So much fun. Totally worth the cost
CanadaAnd now for a change of pace....
We really enjoyed Graeme Shaw's artwork on this puzzle. It is stunning and it was lovely to see it slowly reavealed as more and more of the puzzle was completed. The puzzle design on this Stumpcraft felt very different from other Stumpcraft puzzles I’ve completed with far more angular cuts. When I read the Jasen's design notes, I believe this was intended to reflect the sharp angular lines of the mountains. There were so many letters too; only after I read the postcard referring to items to look for did I realize there was some sort of saying imbedded in the puzzle. My photos do not include this saying so as not to spoli the surprise
