mayanwall watercolor width 20" x 16" depth
This painting was done of a photo from a trip to the Yucatan. We learned about the ball court and the players depicted on the top. Not sure about the exact symbolism of the birds and jaguar with the egg. Might be Creation myths, and transfers of political power from one ruler to another which were painted around the ball court. The ballgame gave neighboring cities an alternative to war for settling disputes.
When viewing this living prayer print, you might decide what is really meaningful to you as you play the game of life and who do you give your power away to?
