There is probably no place quite so mysterious and moving as Stonehenge. It still sits isolated on the Salisbury Plain in southwest England, with no commercial encroachments to degrade its simplicity and beauty. Its stone monoliths stand silently, almost proudly, like waiting sentries — waiting now for thousands of years. But waiting for what? Indeed, no one seems really quite sure why they were put there in the first place. But the people who put them there did so at great cost — in both time and effort. So it had to be very important to them. Visitors know that, of course. Perhaps that's why more than in even the most magnificent cathedrals in England, visitors here seem to reflect a deep reverence. This painting was accepted into the juried exhibition, “Art, the Fabric of Life,” of the Coral Springs (FL) Artist Guild.
