Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

Oola the lizard was tired of playing in the sun and decided to go practice throwing his boomerang. Galah came up and stood near watching the boomerangs come flying back for the kind of boomerangs Oola was throwing were bubberas. These were smaller and more curved then the others and returned to the thrower unlike Oola's other boomerangs.
Oola was proud of having the gay Galah to watch his skill. In his pride he gave the bubbera an extra twist and threw it with all of his might. Whizzing through the air back it came, as it passed hitting Galah on top of her head taking both feathers and skin clean off.
Oola was so frightened when he saw what he had done and noticed that blood was flowing from Galah's head, he glided away to hide under a bindia or prickle bush. Galah saw Oola and still shrieking, followed Oola. When she reached the bindia bush she rushed at Oola, seized him with her beak, rolled him on the bush until every bindia had made a hole in his skin. Then she rubbed his skin with her own bleeding head.
Galah vowed that Oola carry the bindias on him always and the stain of her blood as a reminder of what he did to her. Oola also vowed that Galah always be a bald-headed bird as long as he was a red prickly lizard.
So to this day, underneath the crest of a galah you can always find the bald patch which the bubbera of Oola first made. And in the country of the galahs are lizards coloured reddish brown and covered with spikes like bindia prickles.

Embracing Indigenous creativity is paramount in exploring Aboriginal art. To create this artwork, the artist meticulously selected vibrant colors to bring forth a dynamic visual experience. They incorporated layers of mixed media and Liquitex Soft Gel to enhance the overall aesthetic of the piece. The application of Liquitex Soft Gel served multiple purposes: it not only increased surface gloss, color depth, and transparency but also extended the color's reach without compromising the acrylic's stability. Moreover, it imparted an oil-like color to heavy body paint, enriching the texture and finish of the artwork.Experience the Colorful Visions of Ancient Australia. This is a colourful and textured painting of a gecko on canvas. The gecko is a symbol of resilience, adaptability, and survival in Aboriginal culture. I can see how this piece would be a cherished part of someone's home, not just for its beauty but also for the story it tells.

Aboriginal art is a window into the rich tapestry of Indigenous Australian culture, embodying millennia of traditions and storytelling. The intricate layers of acrylics in such artwork not only add depth and texture but also symbolize the complex layers of history and spirituality that are intrinsic to Aboriginal life. The use of varnish not only protects the painting but also enhances the vibrancy of the colors, much like the resilience of the culture it represents. The inclusion of a wire for hanging and protective paper on the backside signifies the care and respect given to the artwork, ensuring its longevity for future generations to appreciate.
The use of acrylic paints allows artists to express cultural identity boldly. Each stroke and color choice resonates with the spirit of the land and its people. The dynamic composition of such a painting reflects the complex relationship between the artist and their heritage, a dance of vibrant hues and textures that brings to life the stories and ceremonies passed down through generations. The glossy varnish finish not only protects the artwork but also enhances the depth and intensity of the colors, making each element stand out in sharp relief against the canvas.Embracing Indigenous creativity is paramount in exploring Aboriginal art.
