Kaltukatjara Rockholes, 17-130KA

This painting is a topographical view of the many rockholes which are located near Kaltukatjara (Docker River). These rockholes are important water source to the people of Docker River and have supported their community for many years.

This painting needs to be framed. It’s also being sent direct from the artist at a remote art centre, Tjarlirli Art, in the top end. Please note there is only one mail plane a week that picks up the artworks. 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.
