Signed certificate of authenticity.
A Welcome to Country is a protocol where Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners welcome others to the land of their ancestors. 
The Welcome to Country ceremony is carried out at significant events and formal functions involving people from other parts of the country or from overseas. This practice shows respect for the Traditional Owners and Elders of a particular area or regionThere are three types of Acknowledgement of Country:
Generic — this should be used if you don’t know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered, or if there are disputes about the land (multiple Aboriginal peoples identify as Traditional Custodians for that area). The words are:
'I begin today by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.'
Specific — this should be used where there are no disputes and you know the name of the people on whose land you are gathered.The painting "Welcome to Country 2" depicts the sun as a radiant orb, surrounded by concentric circles of red, yellow, and orange. The circles represent the different layers of the universe, from the physical world to the spiritual realm.
This Stunning Artwork is a beautiful and evocative expression of Aboriginal culture and spirituality. It is also a reminder of the importance of acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work.
The Welcome to Country ceremony is a way of showing respect for the Aboriginal people who have cared for this land for millennia. It is also an opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal culture and history.

Experience the Colorful Visions of Ancient Australia. This is an original acrylic painting on canvas, created by myself an Aboriginal artist from the Barunggam tribe, one of the Wakka Wakka language groups that lived in the Darling Downs region for millennia. Experience the Colorful Visions of Ancient Australia. This is a description of a painting that depicts the scenic landscape of Cunnamulla, a town in Queensland, Australia. For thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been naming places that were sacred or important to them. The painting's style is also reminiscent of traditional Aboriginal art. The use of dots and circles is a common motif in Aboriginal art, and it is often used to represent the interconnectedness of all things. The vibrant colors and the layered acrylics also give the painting a sense of energy and movement. Overall, "The Kunja Meeting Place #2" is a beautiful and evocative artwork that pays homage to Aboriginal Australian culture and storytelling. It is a reminder of the importance of place and the interconnectedness of all things. Here are some additional things you might find interesting about Aboriginal Australian art: Aboriginal art is not just about aesthetics it is also a way of communicating stories, knowledge, and laws. Aboriginal art is often created using natural materials, such as ochre, charcoal, and feathers. an important part of Aboriginal Australian culture and identity. 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.

In creating this painting, I have contributed to preserving and celebrating Aboriginal culture. My work serves as a piece of aesthetic beauty and an educational tool that fosters greater understanding and appreciation for the Kabikabi people and my art. It is a meaningful addition to the rich mosaic of Aboriginal art, continuing the legacy of one of the world's oldest continuous cultures. Through my canvas, the spirit of the Kabikabi people reaches out, inviting all to appreciate their enduring heritage and the timeless beauty of their ancestral lands.Experience the rich symbolism and storytelling of Aboriginal art, and immerse yourself in the colorful visions of ancient Australia's mystical world, featuring the Bottle Brush Tree, or Callistemon.The artist has carefully chosen the colors for this piece, which reflect the natural hues found in Australian flora, specifically the Banksia, a genus that is native to the region. Banksia's unique form and coloration are exquisitely portrayed through the artist's expert application of mixed media. The textural qualities of the painting are further enhanced through the use of Liquitex Soft Gel.Embrace the Indigenous Creativity - Explore Aboriginal Art This mixed media artwork on canvas is a profound expression of Indigenous creativity. It blends various materials and techniques to produce a piece rich in texture and depth. The artist's vibrant colors create a dynamic visual experience that captivates the senses. To enhance the artwork's aesthetic appeal, the artist used Liquitex Soft Gel, which increases gloss, depth, and transparency while enriching the paint's texture and finish. The artwork comes ready to display with its canvas stretched and a signed certificate of authenticity.
