I enjoyed this piece very much. Julie Moody tells a story well. Always an artist, 87 year old Gramma Morgan now paints in the styles of pointillism and stiple pointillism because she is over 75 percent visually impaired. She also paints in brilliant colors. Although Gramma Morgan's floral paintings are described in the piece, I found myself wanting to actually see them, but I don't know when I'll be able to visit the Ruta Maya Coffee House. This piece could move from being regional to national if there was a website mentioned in the piece that listeners could visit to view some of Gramma Morgan's work. This piece would work well with other pieces on women, art, aging, family, retirement, and visual impairment.
