The Summertime in Southport puzzle by artist William Mangum shows storm clouds building over the harbor late on a summer afternoon. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a great summer build.
About the Artwork
You can just imagine the boats bobbing in the water as the winds start to pick up. Meanwhile, the clouds add drama to the sky.
In addition, William Mangum’s warm colors and loose brushwork capture the feel of a coastal summer. As a result, it’s a pleasure to build.
Because the scene is full of small details, you’ll notice something new each time you sit down.
If you enjoy this design, be sure to look at Southport Harbor, also by William Mangum.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the boats, using their colors as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the docks and buildings. After that, piece together the water. Finally, fill in the storm clouds and sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
