The Safe Haven puzzle by artist William Mangum features a pair of nuthatches happy to have found shelter from the winter snow. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a cozy winter scene.
About the Artwork
The little nuthatches sit close together while snow covers the branches. Meanwhile, the soft winter colors give the scene a calm feel.
In addition, William Mangum’s warm brushwork makes even a snowy day feel inviting. As a result, it’s a relaxing puzzle to build.
Because nuthatches visit backyard feeders all winter, the scene feels familiar and homey.

Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the nuthatches, using their markings as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the branches. After that, piece together the snow. Finally, fill in the background, sorting those pieces by shade.
