The Ocracoke Lighthouse puzzle by artist William Mangum features the whitewashed tower on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a peaceful coastal scene.
About the Artwork
Built in 1823, the Ocracoke Lighthouse is the oldest operating lighthouse in North Carolina. Its bright white tower stands on the banks of Teach’s Channel.
In addition, the village of Ocracoke can only be reached by ferry, boat or plane. As a result, the lighthouse feels like a hidden treasure.
William Mangum’s warm colors and loose brushwork give the scene a gentle, inviting feel.
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 white 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.
