THREE VIRGINS #3

Virgen de la Paloma

In this picture
the Virgin
is
surrounded
by
soft colors
and
light.

She
is
middle-aged
half-smiling
and
double-chinned.

Her
skin
is
soft and smooth.

She
is
crowned
with
laurel and flowers.

There
are
twenty pearls
at
her throat
a
floral brooch
pinned
at
her
neckline.

Her
frock
is rose.

She
is
draped
in 
a blue
and
star-studded
robe.

A
hummingbird
in a
flash
of
golden light
is
embroidered
at
her
breast.

She
cradles
a
bundle
of
Madonna Lillies
(flor de azucena)
and
sits
in
clouds
looking
at
you.
