A 'break' in the country

Today's post, 21 January 2025, delivers a jigsaw showing another fine painting from Peter Webster (this is his eighth painting chosen for jigsaws, described on this blog). Peter is an artist who places his main subject, a train, in plain view, but within a superb countryside setting. Romany Summer features a Romany group of adults and children with their horses and caravans enjoying a break by a railway branchline. Included in the countryside scene are - a small freight train headed by a Great Western 2-6-2 Prairie tank, a small station beside a single line and a single platform, scattered village houses, a stream and several trees all included in a summer, rural composition. Romany Summer is one of a set of four 500-piece puzzles issued in the same box, by JHG Puzzles, all featuring Peter's paintings. The other three are described on this blog. Use the search bar for Busy Day at Dulverton, Saint at Radley and Winchcombe Station which were all issued separately by Classic Deluxe. Also on the blog by Peter are Summer Saturday, Leaving Coombe Junction, Morning Service and Towards Dartmoor (the latter a superb 1000-piece panoramic style jigsaw from Clementoni).
