ORMISTON GORGE, AFTER RAIN
$1,100
This painting shows Ormiston Gorge, in Tjoritja, the West Macdonnell Ranges. This is my father’s and grandfather’s country. After the rain the creek would fill up with water and the country would become green and full with wildflowers. As kids we would go there for picnics and to go fishing and swimming, sometimes we would stay the night by the creek. I made this painting from my memories of that time, I remember seeing lots of fish there, as well as birds, swans and ducks in the water.
