Cliff Overhang - Will there be Rock Art?

It’s always with hope that I explore places like this. They would have been perfect for shelter, and there’s always the chance to see ancient Aboriginal Art, though I’ve never been fortunate enough to find such a place, and I don’t get around much any more. I did visit Gippsland’s Den of Nargun thirty odd years ago, but even then it had been degraded by time and tourists. This work is on 60cm x 70 cm 300gsm pale yellow Canson paper, with a good tooth. I worked in oil pastel and acrylic.

    What a ripper! The Grampians/Gariwerd has some fine examples (although the cyclone fencing kind of spoils the vibe).

    This speaks to me of mining ie underground mining. the brown is the hard underground rockbed and the brighter colours are the natural resources being dug up.

    It makes me feel as if I am in a tsumani of deep earthen rock, swallowed whole by the dimensions of tradition past people’s have left behind. Beautiful!
