This painting needs to be framed. It's also being sent direct from the artist at a remote art centre, Papunya Tjupi Arts , in the top end. Please note there is only one mail plane a week that takes the artwork to the Alice Springs. The tracking information is then received a week later when the mail plane returns so often the paintings are delivered before we receive the tracking information. Please expect a slightly longer wait for this very special artwork to arrive.
