From a bird’s-eye viewpoint, his bold and beautiful Crossing the Rio Grande, reproduced on this 500-piece jigsaw puzzle, will transport you to the peaceful plateaus in the distance.

Artist

Billy Hassell

“Mother Nature’s stylist,” is how the New York Times refers to Billy Hassell, whose vivid paintings are studies in stylized naturalism, rooted in a deep sense of place. An artist and conservationist since childhood, Hassell (American, b. 1956) roamed the creeks and uncultivated areas around Dallas and began his life’s work by observing and drawing the lizards and other creatures he carried home in his pockets. He was as fascinated by their patterns and colors as he was by their very existence. Like the natural world itself, his paintings are charged with color and life, their energy balanced by points of stillness. He invites viewers to be quiet for a moment and venture into the wild. This inquisitive artist’s work is influenced by his travels, and though he still calls Texas home, he enjoys getting to know the land and its denizens wherever he goes. Throughout his career, Hassell has created limited-edition lithograph series whose sales support conservation-related organizations such as Audubon Texas, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and the Big Bend Conservancy.

I bought for gift for sister and after talking w/her in IA she loves your puzzles, colors vibrant, sturdy, and even at 500 pieces they are challenging. I selected this one as I lived and 1st born happened in NM. I love this area which is so beautiful as seen in this puzzle.

We're so glad that your sister is enjoying this puzzle! Thanks for sharing your personal connection with it. :)

Great puzzle!

I love Pomegranate puzzles because they are made so well. I also think that this company does a magnificent job of offering a wide variety of art in their puzzles. I think that difficulty/ease is in the eye of the beholder but I can say that I am enjoying the process of putting this one together. I am not finished yet. But one hint: If you usually put the edge together first you might want to do it differently with this one.

Thanks for the valuable insight! We really appreciate your support. :)
