This is a mixed-media artwork on stretched canvas, ready to hang. It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. I have used vibrant colours and layers of acrylics mixed with Liquitex Soft Gel, a medium that enhances the surface gloss, colour depth and transparency of the paint. It also extends the colour range without affecting the acrylic stability. The result is a heavy body paint with an oil-like colour. The layers of acrylics create some depth and texture in the artwork.
The Stunning painting is inspired by the Cunnamulla Aboriginal culture, which comprises five different tribes: the Kunja people, who are the traditional owners of the Cunnamulla area, and the Kooma, Budjiti, Mardigan, and Kullilli people. The Kunja Aboriginal people are the descendants of Killamunda, Flora Maranoa, Maria Major and Jimmy Nyngan, who were among the first Aboriginal people to settle in the region. The Kooma people are those Aboriginal people who are descended from Maggie of Bendena, Kitty of Bollon, Sarah of Fernlee, Mary Button of Murra Murra, Susan Mitchell, Annie Murray, Julia Powell, Lucy Sheridan and other ancestors. The artwork celebrates the rich and diverse heritage of these tribes and their connection to the land and the Warrego River, where they perform the welcome-to-country ceremony at the start of Cully Fest, a festival that showcases the outback culture and everyday life.
