John Francis is primarilly a painter of animals. His eye to detail and accuracy is unsurpassed. His animal collages are obviously not real examples of all the animals that would care to be in such close proximity to one another but his overall sense of composition is both pleasing to the nature lover and the puzzle hobbyist alike. His vistas range from the most domestic such as Enchanted Garden (G6068) to the moors of Scotland as in G6010, Mountains and Moorlands. You can rest assured that the animals found in all of John Francis' locations are indigenous to that setting.

John Francis' puzzles are so popular in the Gibsons p[uzzle catalogue that Gibsons has given John a full page spread to his images in the 2011 Gibsson puzzle catalogue.
