SPIRITS OF A NATION


This painting depicts a story about the Wiradjuri people. This is what was done in a days work for the Wiradjuri people it show the hunters out hunting kangaroo, and the women are collecting the yams and bush seeds for johny cakes. The women and children also collect the small animals such as lizards, geckos and birds eggs. As we sit by our camp fires at night we would call ancient spirits to join in We tell stories, We play the didgeridoo, We sing and dance and celebrate our daily health and life. From the droning of the didgeridoo, The spirits of Our Ancestors are joining in singing and dancing flying around, swirling with the red hot flames of the fire... Our Ancestors Spirits are always with US. The Spirits represent all our ancestors that have lived on this great country. The two stars represent the owners of the painting it is there spirits that are watching over this great land which they love and respect. The Rainbow snake is the creator of all land and sea masses we see today, he is laying next to the three rivers of the Wiradjuri which is The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee). The brown yellow and red dots represent the color of the natural vegetation that is grown in the area. The three circles joined by squiggly lines represent my signature and the three rivers of the "Wiradjuri Nation", The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee).

I’m back again

I’m back again with more of my fine art after completing commission works painted for private investors and government organizations.
I still have eleven more paintings to complete for one investor.
This one was Completed by myself two weeks ago for Kevin's Son.

This painting depicts the Aboriginal people of the Wiradjuri Nation celebrating the day’s successful hunt and well being, we give thanks to our creator and the mother Earth. Back in creation time Baiame created all and placed certain Spirits in every thing and place. He gave Laws to these spirits and each spirit certain powers to make the aboriginal people obey his laws. The water spirits were left in places where people and animals came to drink. They were given the power to bring on new life, Storms, Floods and even droughts depending on how the people obeyed Baiame laws. They were given certain animal totems to feed the people such as fish, turtle and every other creature that lives in water. He made it Law that he who drinks water takes the water Spirit that gives new life. The Water spirits create rain and new life. Without the water spirits all would die.. My Spirits are protectors. The blue dots represent the three rivers of the "Wiradjuri Nation", The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee). The blue and grey dots down below represent the billabongs which are slowly drying up. The star represents your loved ones watching over, making sure you are ok, through out your life.
