Watercolour on paper. 2007. Painted from a photograph by Frank Johnston, held at the National Library of Australia. Albert Namatjira (1902 – 1959) was one of Australia’s most acclaimed visual artists. He was a Western Arrernte man, an Indigenous Australian of the Western MacDonnell Ranges area. Albert Namatjira is one of Australia’s great artists, and perhaps the best known Aboriginal painter. Though in his early career he painted a wide variety of subjects, he is best known for his watercolour Australian outback desert landscapes, a style which inspired the Hermannsburg School of Aboriginal art. While his work is obviously the product of his life and experiences, his paintings are not in the highly symbolic style of traditional Aboriginal art; they are richly detailed depictions. He is also notable for being the first Northern Territory Aborigine to be granted Australian citizenship in the sense of being freed from the restrictions of discriminatory legislation that made Aborigines wards of the State. source: www.wikipedia.org New original art listed every Sunday night in my eBay store

Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people at England’s most famous sacred site Stonehenge: Photo: © Julian Andrews. Barni is a word used by the Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people meaning goanna. The Bardi people are from the Dampier Peninsula situated around 200 kilometres north-east of Broome, Western Australia. They are coastal people who have looked to the land, open waters, tidal flats and mangrove creeks for thousands of years for food, law and traditions. Even to this day Bardi people continue to practice their culture and to live this way of life. About Framed Prints: Finely-crafted custom frames create stunning art pieces from RedBubble prints.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word….. Such a small word, but today it sits at the centre of an hourglass of eternity…. / In the past – a vast ocean of existence, awash with the dreams, goals and agendas of mankind, full of intent both selfish and pure … / humanity displaying its best and its worst for that time… / ... / leading us to this moment….. / ... / And emerging through this pivotal word into an ever expanding future, where there will still be those of pure intent, and those of selfish intent, but with renewed hope for greater healing and oneness, a testimony that humanity will go on, and we will walk together… / ... / .. / . The words of my prayer would read…. / ... I honour the equality of all people of this Earth. / If anything I have ever said or done, or worse still THOUGHT, has ever hurt, or diminished the equality or rights of another human being, or living thing, including myself, / Then / I / Am / Truly / Sorry. / ... / .. / . / (Any proceeds from sale of this work will be donated to Wardan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Yallingup, Western Australia. / My thanks go to Ray Buchanan and Bill Webb for their presence in my images)

Atsá – Eagle Eagle, the master of the sky, is considered a carrier of prayers. Many Indian Nations honor this bird as possessing courage, wisdom, and a special connection to the creator. This is often confused with the “thunderbird” image concept. Eagle is also a Directional Protector(the Sky) spirit, and an image associated with spirits and visions. My depiction represents three Bald Eagles circling about the Sun, here symbolized by the sacred Zia (Zia Pueblo word for ‘Sun’). Its rays marking the four directions; in the year, with its four seasons; in the day, with the sunrise, noon, evening, and night; in life, with its four divisions—childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Everything is bound together in a circle of life and love, without beginning, without end.

I was fortunate enough to be asked by nurses and other community workers in Bamaga (far far Nth Queensland) to take photos of the local children at a series of community “Fun Days” to promote an anti smoking campaign education programme. I’d like to share some of the photos of these gorgeous, happy and generous people. They made my stay in Bamaga a delight! 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “Children of Bamaga” will be donated to Bamaga “Community Health Centre”.

Oil over Acrylic on Linen / 1220×606mm The very talented photographer Ronald Rockman graciously granted me permission to paint from his incredible image no where man . / I have used much texture under the oils- piped and palette knifed on, providing a linear counterpoint to the ironic disenchantment etched on this mans face, and echoed in the palette knife finishing textures in the hair. / Have to let it dry now so I can sign it!

Hunab Ku / The Hunab Ku or Galactic Butterfly symbol as seen in the middle of this enhanced design: This symbol is called the “Galactic Butterfly” which is said to represent all of the consciousness that has ever existed in this galaxy. This is all of our physical ancestors both human, animal, reptile, fish, shell fish, plants as well as the consciousness which organized all of the raw material from a whirling disk into stars then planets and solar systems. Big Meaning. So big that the original Maya had no symbol for this. In their civilization it was like having no name for God. Just knowing the concept was good enough.

Two Spirit
by SenaTwo Spirit All tribes were aware of the existence of two-spirit people, and each still has a name for them. The Diné (Navajo) refer to them as nàdleehé one who is ‘transformed’, the Lakota (Sioux) as winkte, the Mohave as alyha, the Zuni as lhamana, the Omaha as mexoga, the Aleut and Kodiak as achnucek, the Zapotec as ira’ muxe, the Cheyenne as he man eh. Among the Mescalero Apache: “Multigendered adult people at Mescalero are usually presumed to be people of power. Because they have both maleness and femaleness totally entwined in one body, they are known to be able to ‘see’ with the eyes of both proper men and proper women. They are often called upon to be healers, or mediators, or interpreters of dreams, or expected to become singers or others whose lives are devoted to the welfare of the group. If they do extraordinary things in any aspect of life, it is assumed that they have the license and power to do so and, therefore, they are not questioned.” A Crow traditionalist stated, “We don’t waste people the way white society does. Every person has their gift.”
