Rublev, Flying

I called this "Rublev, Flying" because of the three pigeons to the left of the woman. Why that name arose, I don't know. Perhaps because I look for symbolism in unusual places (?). The Rublev icon has an open place for the viewer of the icon, and so these doves flying in a near equilateral triangle (the unity of the Trinity) past our unassuming sitter spoke of daily spiritual activity that we are unaware of. This is what reading Madeleine L'Engle does to you...
