One of the coast’s famous wild horses heads down to the water for a dip in the Born to Be Wild puzzle by photographer Peter Doran. In short, this 550-piece beach jigsaw puzzle captures a free spirit.
About the Artwork
Wild horses live along the coastline of southern Virginia and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Here, one of them makes its way toward the surf on its own terms.
Because it’s a photograph, the puzzle captures the horse’s real coloring and the natural textures of the beach. In addition, the horse gives you a strong focal point to build around.
If you enjoy this image, be sure to look at Wild Horses and Beach Party, also featuring the coastal herds.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the horse, using its coloring and shape as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the water where it’s headed. After that, piece together the sand and shoreline. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
