Puzzle Description:

detail of Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) by Edouard Manet

I've recently been solving a bunch of puzzles that are full of colored dots, but have no picture. I decided to offer an alternative. :)

What can I say, but WOW! Fantastique. Super great idea.

I don't think Manet did anything random and neither have you here! Thanks!

Wow! This was so much fun to solve. A bit of a challenge but satisfying!

Thanks, Jewel! It makes all the difference when there's a picture at the end.

My inspiration was #5054: Artsy. I thought it would be a fun twist to actually HAVE something artsy at the end.

Kristen - wonderful puzzle! Almost didn't solve it until I peaked at the comments to realize there was an actual image at the end! :D

Thanks, Heather!

excellent kristen :)

yeah, looked like it was gonna be artsy during the solve...great job!

didn't think it was too hard at all. careful checking, but not overly difficult. all the white space in the middle helped a bunch. you get to a c with a blue clue left, and you simply go through the rows and say"can it be blue". a lot of dots come fast. total solve time wasn't much more than 20 mins.

Well done!

Lots of brain engagement, slow dot-by-dot solve. . . and an image at the end that was never evident until the last. Fun solve, but slow. Good one, kristen.

Thanks, everyone!

Usually the word "random" in a title is code for "avoid this lame puzzle". (only word more dreaded is "bored") But this one is yours so I did it. Very happy to get a tough little color solve with a pleasing result. Thank you so much.

You're welcome! I had fun making this one. :)

Very nice puzzle. Will you give us a Seurat next time?

I learned something from this. Thanks for the link. If it's alright with you, I'd like to follow up what I learned in the comments of the puzzle that led you to direct me here. If you would like to, please refer back to the comments of my puzzle, Abstract Challenge. That's number 29956.

Not at all!

By the way, I was so focused on my feelings about my own puzzle that I didn't really focus on what this thread is about. Forgive my selfishness. I want to tell you that this puzzle was very good. It was an interesting solve that kept me on my toes, and the final image was very creative. It reminded me of another very good puzzle I had already solved that was a snippet of a famous painting. I believe Jan was the one who posted it, but I don't remember the number. It was a closeup of Guernica, the horse in Picasso's anti-war painting. That one and this one were both cool surprises when the full picture was revealed.

That does sound like one of Jan's. :)
