Amsterdam was founded in the 13th century as a small fishing village behind a dyke/dam that protected the residents from the Amstel river. Hence the name Amstel - Dam.

It has grown into a bustling capital city with nearly 1 million people, many of whom get around by bicycle.

The city has more canals than Venice (165 stretching a distance of over 60 miles), most of which were built in the 17th century. These canals earned the city the nickname "Venice of the North."

Amsterdam also has more bridges than Paris. They join the more than 90 small islands than make up the city center.

The city is built on clay, barely above sea level. The foundation is a significant feat of engineering as it stands on over eleven million poles and more than a few bicycles. Over 25,000 bikes end up in the canals each year. As only ten thousand or so get fished out by the city, many rest in peace in the water and help keep the city afloat on the marshy ground.

But unfortunately, the city is still sinking, just like Venice, as evidenced by the many cracks in the staircases and slanted buildings.

Amsterdam's most desirable real estate is along the canals, with tree-lined streets, little cafes and shops, and walking and bike paths.

The houses are slender for a good reason. Back in the 17th century, residents were taxed based on the width of their property, making a thin house a great way to save money. As a result, the narrowest house in Amsterdam has a facade that is only three feet wide!

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers and Amsterdam lovers, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many city themed whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the subject of the painting. We have integrated the wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Gwendolyn McShepard

Gwendolyn McShepard is a self-taught American artist whose bold, soulful work has captivated audiences for over three decades. Born in Mississippi, raised and educated in Wisconsin, and now based in California’s Bay Area, McShepard has built a richly diverse career rooted in authenticity and fearless creativity. Her early talent was undeniable—winning her first national art contest at just seven years old and earning a scholarship by twelve. Proudly unschooled and untrained, she has always embraced the freedom to create on her own terms, allowing her work to evolve without the confines of conventional instruction, a testament to her natural abilities and independent spirit.

Her art is a vibrant reflection of her life experiences, with a sultry edge and a storytelling depth that has earned her a devoted following. Known primarily for her strikingly detailed and color-rich street scenes, one of which recently graced the cover of California’s Contra Costa Times “Weekend” section, McShepard brings a gritty, lived-in realism to her work that makes each piece feel both intimate and alive. Her bold use of color and her uninhibited, sometimes folksy style have become hallmarks of her aesthetic. What truly sets her apart is her diverse artistic range, spanning from whimsical abstracts to more realistic and contemporary works, making her one of the most versatile artists of her generation.

Nationally published through Kappa Publishing of Philadelphia in a variety of magazines, McShepard has exhibited extensively across California and beyond, with thousands of original works and commissions sold to collectors in the U.S., Canada, France, Japan, and the U.K. She was recently recognized as one of the Bay Area’s top up-and-coming artists. Her commitment to artistic exploration is unwavering, continually building a vast and varied collection of “printable treasures.” Her passion for experimentation and boundary-pushing expression ensures that her work remains fresh, emotionally resonant, and endlessly inspiring.
