Village of Bacarak
The construction has been completed and the Villagers are getting ready to move in.
The painting has been “cut” up into 84 pieces that are 3″ wide and 4″ high. These are vertical pieces and I would suggest painting them no smaller than a 6×8.
The puzzle has been completed and a big Congratulations to the Villagers!
Congratulations to the Villagers
of the Village of Bacarak!

OMG! That looks amazing! Thanks so much for doing all your magic Jon to make this so much fun!
Jon and fellow Bacarakians,
Well done! Jon, this was truly a labor of love! You put so much into it! Watching your progress in putting it all together, was fascinating.
Thanks to you and Ginger for all you both do.
Lovely job by all the villagers and congratulations to Jon for all the hard work in putting it all together.
It is great to see the puzzle completed. It looks fantastic! Thank you Jon for all your hard work.
This was so much fun to do and seeing the finished picture is very exciting. Thank you Jon for all the hours you’ve put into this….I am proud to be part of this group
Hi Villagers ! So nice we have all finished our puzzle piece and Jon has already started putting all together ! I loved seeing all our works together ! I guess it will be great when Jon joins it all together ! Thank you so much Jon from all of us ! 💕🥰👏👏👏
Excited to see the painting come together. Thank you John for all your hard work.
Hi Jon. I just submitted puzzle piece B6C1. Please let me know if it needs reworking.
Thank you.
I’m almost finished. Can we send it in for a PAC 😂🤪
That’s very funny! A PAC on Ginger’s own painting…but you didn’t know at the time!
Hi Jon, Just checking again because I don’t see my comment from June 10, if you received my puzzle piece. It’s B5C10 Thank you Barbara Zebrowski aka Nightowlartist
Hi again Jon !
I sent you my Puzzle Piece about 6 days ago B5C9.png .
Please can you tell me if you got it and if it is ok or not ?
Thanks again to you and the Stuffy Stuff for your support and dedication
Lorraine Saliba
Anyone else getting anxious to see the building of our puzzle?
I sure am Donna !! 🤗😁
Lorraine
Yes. Would love to know how it’s going and what we need to do to help Jon finish this puzzle 🧩
I think he is waiting for a few more pieces, then he will start. Hopefully he will have time to do videos showing process.
Hi Jon, just sent my puzzle piece B0C0. Hope it came through ok. Wow what a challenge! I sure hope I did alright! Let me know if I have to retake. Thanks!
Kathy, I have received your painting an it looks good to me! One step closer to be able to start putting the puzzle together. Thanks!
Hello Jon, and thank you for your hard, dedicated work ethic. In reviewing comments below re Bacarak, this project seems to have been going on for some time now. I’m just within the last few days aware of my being selected. What is my deadline? I plan to do the painting today.
Sharon,
I still am running up new Villagers, so if you can get it done in a week or so, would be great.
Remember, if you need some help, just ask! The Stuffy Staff is here to help!
Hi Jon !
I have received my Puzzle Piece B5C9.png.
The Introductory Video is very happy and I thank you for that as well as all the informative videos you have put up for us on your Channel.
I have sent you my Puzzle Piece Painting. Please can you let me know if you got it and if it is up to standard. Thank you
Lorraine
Glad it was helpful, Lorraine. I hope to get better a getting these puzzles going. I would like to have two running about two weeks apart.
Thanks for helping out!
Hi Jon,
Making sure you got my piece. I sent it over a week ago. B5C5 Let me know, thanks! And can you use it the way the photo is?
Looks perfect to me Jenny!
Thanks!
great! thanks Jon!
Jon, I haven’t had chance to paint my piece yet. I will be painting it tomorrow and submit it. Sorry for the delay. Priyanka Jha
Thank you for the update! You are fine…I am still checking to see what pieces are missing and there are quite a few.
We’ll do better next time.
Hi Jon. I am almost done with painting my piece and will submit tomorrow after adding few touch ups. Just wanted to give a quick update. Thank you!
Priyanka Jha
You are fine…I had a few drop out, so I am getting some new folks to move into the Village.
Thanks for the update!
Hello Jon,
I have sent you 2 photos of my piece (B2C0.png). Please let me know if they look ok or not.
Thanks
Priyanka Jha

Jon I’ve just sent another photo hope it’s ok if not I have no idea how to make it any bigger 🙄🙄
Where did you send it or how? I can’t find it in my emails, or in the Google Form.
Let me know where to look.
hi Jon was the piece I did ok now
Sheila,
Sorry, for replying everywhere I can find that you posted. I replied on YouTube as well as here. Your image is too small, too low of a resolution. What type of device are you using to take the picture? When you upload it, does it ask what size or resolution to send? I need the biggest that you can send.
Jon….. abstracts are a HUGE challenge for me too…… just sayin’!
I have to admit, that I am not an abstract kind of person, but here you just need to paint what you see and not over think it! We’ll see how it all comes together soon!
Your piece looks pretty darn good to me!
Jon. I submitted 2 photos of my piece B3C5
done on 8×10’’ canvas with bleed-over to the 1’’ trim.
thanks
Heather.
You did a great job and we’ll just have to see how you will get along with your neighbors!
This is so much fun!
Thanks Jon. I am going on vacation for a week and didn’t want to leave the team hanging. Thank you for ALL you do. Amazing! Happy wishes to you and Ginger.
Thank you, Heather, for checking in before leaving the Village for a little vacation. You are all set, and your piece looks marvelous!
Hi Jon, I just submitted my photo. for B5 C7. This painting was more a challenge for me than i thought. I guess i don’t do well with abstracts or not knowing what I am painting. Please let me know if I am close or if there needs to be any changes. I welcome all critiques.
Donna,
I looked at your painting and I looked at what I sent you…you did a great job! I don’t why you say you can’t do abstracts! You did a marvelous job!
Was the photo quality good? is it what you need, I am leaving on a short vacation, and wanted to make sure it was submitted. I will bring it with me just in case along with my paints in case you need anything. Thank YOu. This was nerve wracking but fun and I can’t wait to watch you put it all together. Thank You for what you do!
Hi Jon I’ve sent my photo through again I hope this is better
Hi Jon, finally found the comment page. I uploaded my photo of my puzzle piece B4C6 on the google form. Hope I did it correctly and that you received it. Let me know if you would like me to repaint or tweak. I painted outside the 6×8 chalk lines I created on a 8×10, since that is my understanding of “bleeding the edges.”
Connieo,
You painting is perfect! You did exactly what I was hoping for! You rock! Thank you!
Hi Jon you said you have replied but nothing has come through

I sent in my picture a few days ago. B0C8
I did 6×8 on a 8×10 canvas, and bled the edges.
I think that the flower portion (1/2 flower lol) might be too dark.
I can lighten it up some and resend if you want.
Judy,
Looks good to me right now. Thank you. We’ll see how it goes as I start to assembly the puzzle.
Jon I sent the painting I’m not very good at water if you need to reasign this to someone else I understand please let me know if it came through Debbie Bishop
Debbie,
Your painting looks great so I’m not sure why you think that I would want to replace you! Sorry, you are stuck in the Village of Bacarak!
Hi Jon, I wanted to make sure you received my photo for B6C0 and see if you need a better photo or anything repainted. I find it very difficult to get a true color photo with my IPhone.
Robin,
Looks pretty good to me. Let’s see how it comes together once I get some images.
Submitted my piece (B2C3). Hope I got the colors right. Enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. Thank you Jon for all your support.
Wanda,
You did a bang up job! Can’t wait to put this together. The pieces are looking good.
How do u send s photo
When you are ready to send me your painting photo, please go here https://www.communitypuzzleproject.com/send-us-your-painting-photos/
There is a “PURPLE” button that will take you to a Google form. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I’m working on a video even as I write this note to you!
I have a question. I noticed that my piece has a red under painting so I painted the whole canvas rd before marking the 6/8 inner area to paint. I bled out the edge however now I am wondering if it needs to be white boarder and not red.
Please advise.
Regards
Nell.
Nell, I looked at your piece that I sent, and I’m sure that it will fine what you hav done. Why not send it in and let me have a look at what you have done thus far. Just use the form that’s on the website…there is a link that will take you to a Google Form.
I’ll have a look at that and let you know if I think it needs anything more.
I sent the image with the red edges however I don’t know if the system was working when I did. Sorry this is so frustrating for you to keep up with my bungling. Lol. I believe the number is b6c11.png
Looks good and there is no frustration on my side of the world!
Fabulous. Great to know and hear.
Hi Bacarak Villagers! I just want to try and post something because I couldn’t before! I can’t wait to see our group creation!
You post worked and the system is back and operational once again!
I did the Check In. Please let me know if you received my puzzle piece (B6C4.png) and that it meets your requirements, and painted correctly.
Sharon,
I did receive your piece and I wrote you back asking if you could glaze back that little “J” because it’s not suppose to be that bright. It’s really very subtle in the painting and really not noticeable. If you can’t, that’s fine, I can fix it on my end when I put it together, which might be interesting for people to see.
Thanks for checking in!
Will try in the morning and send you a photo.
Jon I sent in the revised painting. If not what is needed please feel free to make changes.
Jon, you sent out the Puzzle piece B0C6 to me on the 2nd, and I checked in on the 3rd. June 1st I had left on a trip to celebrate my mother’s 96th birthday with her out of state. Yesterday I returned, an my piece will be sent back to you tomorrow or Wednesday. Sorry to hear of your difficulties the site does not seem to be posting comments from other users. I am posting this just to see if it goes though, and to know you got my check-in. Thanks for the opportunity to work on the Bacarak Village… Read more »
Thanks for the update! The system did an update and it messed up the “submit” button, but it’s all better now and working great!
Take your time and do a good job! I think I have a solution for the next puzzle.
Hi Jon. Is there a Techbear post on how to take the photos for the puzzle. I have completed mine and submitted it to you, but I do not think my photo is that good…colours look a little off
I have some of the “footage” shot but have not had a chance to put all together. I hope too soon, but I guess it will be more beneficial to the next Villagers.
My piece was B1C7. Is it suitable then or does it require adjusting?
Lynn,
Looks good to me! Thanks for checking!
Jon, Please verify that you have received my puzzle piece tonight (6-8-2020), and that it meets your requirements, and that it is painted correctly. thank you
Chris,
Thank you for the comment and “yes” you did good! I like how you had a grid for the whole painting. My guess is that you are sock-folder!
Job well done!
Jon, sent 2 photos 300dpi and 700dpi. I hope you got them let me know,
Thanks for all you do!
Sherry Mitchell
Thank you, Sherry, they look great! I can work with this!
Hi Jon, First of all want to say you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you for the great videos explaining everything in detail! Do I understand you correctly that there is no bleed in the Bacardi project? May do my painting on a 6×8 without bleed? Thank you so much.
I would prefer a bleed, but not a requirement.
Jon, first of all I want you to know that you are doing a fabulous job! The videos you have created to explain everything are so appreciated and well done! I painted my piece on an 8×10 using the correct measurements you showed how to obtain; however I’m not pleased with my results. I want to repaint it on a 6×8 using more measurements, almost a grid. I hope you will allow me this extra time to complete it. You said there was no bleed in this project, so is it okay to do on just a 6×8 instead of… Read more »
When I printed out my picture the colors were very dark compared to the picture in the e mail. . Not sure how to paint it’s colors? Darker reddish. Or the tans
