Portrait of a Woman in Stained Glass

inspired by Portrait of a Woman in Pergola with Wisteria
by Tiffany Studios
Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA

Her gown cascades down her body
          Waterfall    of shimmering folds: turquoise and
violet
Golden breasts glow
One hand gently holds a cluster of wisteria,
Their scent: the essence of warm spring evenings, purple
sky

She gazes through me    and beyond.
Gathered, as she is     into herself
She is pleased.
