Several of these panels, all primarily green, are built into an arch at Unity Health Care, Hayes and Kenilworth Terrace, NE
And that’s it from me. I enjoyed finding the art and posting the pictures. I hope someone enjoyed looking at them.
Thanks Boomer@bikingjenn 225426 wrote:

Well #publicartfinders that’s a wrap for FS2023. Thanks to one and all for sharing your public art finds. I need to start a Google Map where we can all crowd source our art finds to share with others.
Looks as though the competition heated up at the end as the leaderboard is crowded up top. I need to count up all the extra points as they could upset the leaderboard!:-0 I will do this before the final happy hour where the FS2023 #publicartfinder winners will be announced.
In the interim, I finally caught up with @Rod in the wild and awarded him his 2022 pointless prize for 2nd place [emoji1627]finish: a folk art fridge magnet from Colombia [emoji1075] I hope to be more punctual with getting prizes to this year’s winners!
Speaking of this year’s pointless prizes, @FastFriendlyGuy has once again generously donated several of his original water color paintings (matted) to be proudly hung by the lucky few to be announced at #FS2023FHH…

Not sure when that was taken, but Karen ended up with 86, not 85: https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder Of course, that doesn’t count whatever bonus points were awarded.

I always wondered what this was about. I still do but I know a little bit more about it after I finally stopped and took a closer look. Then my next door neighbor happened by and I learned a little more about him too! And I have #publicartfinder game to blame, er I mean thank, for that.
I remember when that mural went up during the pandemic in 2020; it’s a tribute to Army Spc. Venessa Guillén, who was tragically murdered by a fellow soldier, from Fort Hood TX
