Immerse Yourself in the Timeless Wisdom of Aboriginal Art
This is a description of an original Aboriginal painting. The painting depicts the Warrego River, a sandy watercourse that flows through the Bidyara country. I have used acrylic paints on a canvas that had been stretched and mounted on a wooden frame. The painting comes with a signed certificate of authenticity that verifies its origin and value.
The painting is titled 'RIVER OF SAND' which is a word from the Bidyara language that means "bad" or "river of sand". I have chosen this name to reflect the harsh and dry conditions of the river and its surroundings. The painting shows the contrast between the blue sky and the brown earth, as well as the different textures and patterns of the sand and the water. I also incorporated a symbolic element in the painting: a curved line that represents a pathway. This pathway is called Wadyanana, which means "I'll be walking around somewhere else when he comes". This is a reference to a traditional story of the Bidyara people, where a woman escapes from an unwanted suitor by following the river. The use of acrylics on canvas is a common technique for Aboriginal artists, and the stretched and mounted frame allows the painting to be easily displayed. The certificate of authenticity is an important document that helps to protect the value of the artwork.
