This is a watercolor, no actually its mixed media because I used a little bit of oil pastel and prismacolor pencil to finish it. It honors the wise medicine women of Belize like Beatrice Waight, Hortense the midwife and Dr. Rosita Arviga. During the period of time I was painting this, I was also reading Rosita Arviga's book "Sastun."

Wow when I first looked at your painting I could see an image within the face of the medicine woman of a figure cradling an infant. Then looked again and saw the medicine woman

Thats is really beautiful - i decided on a midwife theme too
This is gorgeous! It has such a mystical quality to it, in keeping with your explanation. The colors are so rich & jewel-like...really nice!
