I had a 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle made from a painting of mine. I thought this might be a good one:

Painting: Red Maple

Then I started, and I realized that puzzles of paintings are much harder to do than puzzles of photographs:

Ironically, the painting itself is about 15 feet behind me in the living room above the fireplace.

I can say this for certain:

So far it has taken many more hours to just get this far in the puzzle than it took to create the entire painting in the first place.

That’s why I call it Quarantine Pastime.
