Description


This blind Mopan Maya woman was 103 years old as she feels her way along the roadside by tapping her cane for rocks or grass. In her bag is the reason for this long walk to the village market--coffee. I painted this image for an ethnological study of the culture. She is wearing the traditional dress of the 'Old Maya'.

That has to be some incredibly amazing coffee!!!! Probably what's kept her going all this time. 103 is mind numbing, she's more than twice as old as I am, I should fell younger. Thank you much for sharing a different slice of life and the world. Most in the U.S. would probably still be driving should they reach that age, blind or not.
