about this painting:

Connie has painted her Grandfathers story. Her work represents a waterhole near Kintore in the Northern Territory.  Connie speaks of how when she was a child she would dance and watch her Grandfather paint.  After her Grandfather passed away she began to paint his story, influenced by his style of painting.
The lines represent the rain clouds, raining on the land, allowing many Pituri to grow from the water (represented by the white dots).  Pituri is a type of wild desert tobacco.
Connie says “when it rains I climb up the big rock to the top, and I’m happy.”
