Four More New Puzzles for January!

In late November 2021, we added 35 new images to our collection. These new images were made available to our Cobble Hill Retailer Partners or "Preferred Retailers" as you may have heard us call them on social media. These retailers are very important to our brand as they commit to always having an abundance of images for you to choose form when you go to their store (or shop online with them). Any retailer you find on our website (in North America) will always get first pick of our new puzzles ahead of other stores. So we thank you for supporting them!

However, in January, we added four more new puzzles that have been made available to all retailers! We love these four new images and we hope you do too. So without further ado, here they are!

These rocks were created with pencil crayon and watercolour. They are numbered and labelled underneath so that you can identify them in the chart.

"Family Reunion"
1000 piece 
Gwendolyn McShepard
In stock soon!
****************

The artist, Gwendolyn McShepard, has created a very well thought out and intentional painting. This isn't just a gathering of people, there is a lot of meaning behind each "tier". We think Gwendolyn has explained her painting very well, so we'll share her statement below.

Artist Statement about Family Reunion:

I draw much of my strength from the knowledge of my ancestors who paved the way for me and made it possible for me to be here today.  The two people in the haze on the hill represent all of the ancestors of long, long ago that you’ve never known yet are intrinsic to your every breath.  Then I thought about the family members that I have recently lost, who helped shape and mold me to be the person I am today.  So, the second tier of the painting is the traditional funeral march. What most people don’t notice about this piece is the green shadow figures marching in the opposite direction of the funeral march. They are heading to the hill to join all the ancestors who are waiting to greet them. The third tier of the painting represents the entire cycle of life which is pretty much the same for all of us. In the center the couple represents family home and children.  Spiraling out on all sides from the center couple are all the elements of life and living. Fellowship, spiritual life, education, vocation, military, play, happiness and sadness, which we all encounter in the cycle of life. 

The border represents fabrics of Africa. As the mother continent, these fabrics are interwoven throughout all of our lives. In the truest meaning, this painting represents all families, all over the world. It represents the cycle of life.

If you made it here, we think you deserve a sneak peek at one of the 17 images releasing in March to our Preferred Retailers (that means all other stores will have new images by late May/June). 

We hope you like this sweet treat! (You just have to hold tight for a few months to enjoy it!)
