Description
This painting depicts a large soak-water (warran) near which old people used to camp in the old days. There were always many foods to be collected here by the women and some of these are shown in the painting. The wildflowers to be found here are also seen. These featured go back to the Tjukurrpa or Dreamtime when spiritual ancestors scattered foods and grasses all over the land. Songs and dances tell of these things.
As appears on the Warlayirti Artists certificate.
