This is really very good Cleo, this doesn't look like any hospital room that I have ever seen, lol. You did a really nice job with your blending and the addition of the birds and the clouds gives it a dreamy effect. Best of luck in the contest. Shirley

Thank you so much Shirley.
Yes it is a real.It is a very good hospital. It is the room were my Husband is after his last operation. The light in the room was dimmed. The hospital items are hidden behind the clouds right. I exchanged the print in the picture frame with one of my own photos.

Comment from ZenTrip
Every now and then an image comes along that speaks to one's innermost being. This speaks so loudly of the mind crying out in torture for the release to return home that it chills to the bone.

I'm sure everyone will have their own personal reaction to this because of the flawless and interpretative nature of your insight coupled with your technical expertise.

Personally, I see the hospital ceiling giving way to the cognitive and intellectual deterioration of clouded memory movement that allows for the flooding of sky providing wings of flight for the desolate.

So personal and introspective with your capacity for understanding, and being able to present it so visually with your untouchable style.

Useless to talk of composition, colors, symbolism, technical accomplishments - it's all there.

Congratulations on an achievement that obviously represents many, many hours of demanding effort, intense soul involvement, and relentless mental stamina.

One of your most remarkable pieces of work, cleo.

Comment from MoonWillow
Oh, I wish I had a six for you. This is absolutely beautiful! Love the way you did it. The birds look like they are actually flying through the hall. Excellent depiction, idea, composition & colors. The painting in the hall is a wonderful touch. What a super contest entry. Beautiful work, Cleo!! :)

Thank you so much for your beautiful review. Don't worry about a 6. That you like my work means much more to me.

Comment from Nelia
Absolutely brilliant Cleo! Proof of a very creative mind. So symbolic in more ways than one and a fantastic topic for a creative writing excercise, I am sure each person would have teir own interpretation of their thoughts, hopes, wishes and dreams as they lie in hospital. I really think the birds in flight here makes this an amazing piece. Excellent entry, wish I had higher than 5 to give you for this masterpiece!
