Jay Burch: Puppets & Marionettes

Everyday objects such as dolls and toys spark artist Jay Burch’s imagination. In the still-life study Puppets & Marionettes, it is as if someone has just opened the door to a backstage prop closet. The vibrantly painted characters are caught in a shaft of light, barely having had time to freeze and pretend to be lifeless. One wonders what mischief they have been up to! You can think about that as you complete this 300-piece puzzle.
