I had no idea when I took this photo in San Francisco in August, 2009 who created it or what it was about. I just liked it. I was taking the ferry into the city from Marin to help take care of my new Taylor twin grandsons and would walk through Sydney G. Walton Square on my way to Mason and Taylor. Now, more than two years later, I discover the object of my admiration is a sculpture of Georgia O'Keefe by the Venezuelan artist Maria Sol Escobar, otherwise known as Marisol. Well worth a visit! More information from Wikipedia on the artist is

Thank you for posting this. My wife and I are from Nw Mexico and are quite familiar with O'Keefe's history and work. Stumbling across this sculpture on a random stroll to the Ferry Building Marketplace was part of a magical day in your wonderful city.
