Yuwalki 712-17

In this painting John has depicted a man performing a ceremonial dance at Yuwalki, south of Kintore, where his family have particular ties too.

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.
