A New Arrival - by Kevin Walsh 1000 Piece Puzzles - 685mm x 490mm Box Dimensions - 305mm x 305mm x 50mmA New Arrival is a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from artist Kevin Walsh. A group of Jaguar enthusiasts meet up for a pint at their local tavern where a Jaguar XK120 and a later XK150 model await the late arrival of a brand new E-type. Kevin Walsh, a favourite Gibsons jigsaw puzzle designer, studied illustration at the Wakefield College of Art and developed an early reputation for his aircraft paintings. He became a member of the Guild of Aviation Artists. Kevin has twelve different jigsaw puzzles in the Gibsons catalogue from 1000 Piece Puzzles through to 500 piece jigsaw puzzles. His puzzle themes range in time from the very recent past back to the Victorian era with his always popular puzzle of the Victorian Skaters, a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle which is a mainstay of the Gibsons puzzle catalogue. In the latter years of his career, he has become increasingly known for a much wider variety of subjects, including landscapes, hunting scenes, transport, and city life in bygone days. Kevin travels many miles to research his paintings and spends countless hours sketching to capture technical and historical detail accurately. Leading publishers in Britain and overseas have commissioned his work for greeting cards, collectors' plates, biscuit tins, jigsaw prints and calendars. Original oils by Kevin Walsh can be seen at the Headrow Gallery, Leeds, and at the William Sission Gallery in Helmsley, New York.
