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."
love the colors! so vibrant! gotta love those prismacolor products! im stuck on em and cant use anything else. nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow 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
