Artwork Story

This painting is my representation of my Country—the soil, trees, and their different varieties. The trees are painted in white dots, representing life and a healthy landscape.

There are two creek systems with two circles at each end, representing the waterholes. The background is dotted in red and dark yellow ochre, reflecting the colour of the soil.

The goanna and kangaroo are residents of this part of Country and are the main sources of food.

Completed 24th September, 2024
