About the Artwork
“This is a photo taken from the fourth floor ICU waiting room at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice, FL. Looking out the window while waiting to visit my mother-in-law, I was struck by the beauty of this fountain. I think of the circle as a symbol of infinity and eternity, and I can’t imagine a better image to contemplate when you’re in the hospital.”

Very nice. Beauty is so often noticed in the “unseen” objects of everyday life. Your image reminds me of the circle of life! Very nice
