THIS WATERHOLE WE DUG UP IS IN THE DESERT

Both birds started fighting and hitting each other with sticks

45 x 100cm

makurra (cold weather) has come full of blossoms

Town is not a good place to live

dirty blood was going inside my vain

where my grandmother walked north towards Cherrabun Station

This is where the river meets the billabong

these trees have two big branches that come out like a fork

One of them the white cockatoo had been talking all night

This painting is all about animals walking to the waterhole for drink this waterhole has no tree's  just grass and flowers for animals to eat
