Dawn bathes the countryside in golden yellow light. Bonifacio Maxia Cutzal celebrates the beauty of Lake Atitlán and the charm of San Antonio Palopó. "Sunrise on Lake Atitlán is a splendid sight. The air is cool and fresh. The landscape here is as impressive as the people and it's easy to feel at home," the artist says.

Neighbors go about their daily shores in a small Guatemalan village. Carrying a hoe over his shoulder, a man walks homeward past women drawing water from the well and a boy who feeds the chickens and turkey. An older woman kneels beneath a shade tree to weave on a backstrap loom. "This is a scene I saw in my own hometown," says artist Bonifacio Maxia Cutzal, who signs his work as "Boni." "I was on my way home from delivering some paintings when I paused to watch this family at work, and I wanted to share a glimpse of my country."
