The seven pools are in reference to God.  This is the first painting with irises and lilies.  Winsor painted her first Lily.  The figure on the path represents Jesus.  When we go to the Garden to pray, notice that the gate is always open and He is always there to meet you.  The gazebo is based on an actual gazebo Hawaii.

Perhaps in a garden we are closer to our creator. We certainly are closer to His creation. My prayer is that this painted garden will be a meeting place for many that would speak to their God in the silence of morning.
