about this painting:

This painting is about the Lungkata (Blue Tongue Lizard) Tjukurrpa. He walks the countryside near the Walukuritji rock hole eating the seeds from off the ground.  The Tjukurrpa story comes from the place Wentja’s father, Shorty Lungkata, was born. This countryside is the other side of the Pintupi community, known as Kintore.
