La Monja Colorida is a most exclusive painting! There are many nuns here at this work in Old Mexico but only the one fanciful little nun Lydia dares to state herself with bold, beautiful colors from the plentiful palette of her Higher Power the One big Original Artist of All.

Lydia is dressed in beautiful shades of purple and red and minute flowers are embroidered around her neck and hemline. In her hand over is a small Talavera cross. And be sure and observe the petite red shoes on her feet! After that to Lydia is Rafael her favorite burro. And all around the assignment there are forever lots of black crows! The charge is topped with a black cross and in the environment is a vibrant yellow sun tinged with gold. This mission is a amazing blend of colors and the desert scenery is dotted with agave and ocotillo.
