The Bald Head Lighthouse puzzle by artist William Mangum features the historic lighthouse on Bald Head Island, near Wilmington, North Carolina. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a peaceful coastal scene.
About the Artwork
Known as Old Baldy, it’s the oldest standing lighthouse in North Carolina. Its weathered tower has watched over the mouth of the Cape Fear River for generations.
In addition, William Mangum’s warm colors and loose brushwork give the scene a gentle, inviting feel. As a result, it’s a relaxing puzzle to build.
Because the island is reached by ferry, many visitors remember the lighthouse as the first thing they see.
Like his other lighthouse puzzles in our collection, the artwork is detailed, peaceful and suitable for framing.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the lighthouse, using its tower as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the trees and buildings around it. After that, piece together the grass and ground. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
