Can you imagine this painting without the thing in the window? Sometimes a very small detail can make the painting (or picture as in the case with photography too.)

Wonder if it could be a vase of calla lilies. they are used a lot in Hispanic cultures, and lend themselves to various symbolic interpretations. But could O'Keeffe have found them in Tesuque?

It stunned me when scanning across the work and running into that window! Such a bounded image, then, wham! I immediately though of a recent Doctor Who rerun I watched.

They are soothing to study. I have never studied Georgia's work before but this painting appeals to me in its intrigue within its simplicity.

It could be a part of an instrument. But I think it looks like a part of a traditional handcraft. In my opinion the painter intended to keep it unclear. It could be a part of an instrument.

That would make me think that maybe she never really identified it herself but just painted what was there, crammed into the window pane, like the building in the composition.

I'm not sure where you were informed that the church was torn down, it still stands there today. I just took a picture of it last time I was home. I couldn't tell you what was in the picture either, it doesn't look like anything to me. It may be a reflection of the sun as some of the windows have saint statues placed in them.
