The Highway 12 puzzle by photographer Peter Doran pays tribute to the road along North Carolina’s northeastern coastline. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a fun Outer Banks memory.
About the Artwork
Highway 12 links the peninsulas and islands of the northern Outer Banks. For many families, driving it means the beach trip has begun.
In addition, the road runs between the ocean and the sound, so the views are beautiful. As a result, it’s one of the most scenic drives on the coast.
Because it’s a photograph, the puzzle shows the true colors of the sand, sky and water.
If you enjoy this design, be sure to look at Lighthouses of North Carolina, also by Peter Doran.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the road, using its lines as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the dunes and sea grass. After that, piece together the water. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
