Australian Art

When we visited Australia--about 5 years ago--we picked up some aboriginal art (prints) which we really liked. We weren't sure about how or where we'd display them and therefore, have had them sitting in a drawer for several years. Finally, as the kitchen project began to come into focus, we thought we had a good place for them!
The top picture is about women hunting for their dinner. The tracks represent animals. The c-shapes are the women hunters, providing for their families. Below you see the kangaroos with Uluru and the sun as the backdrop. The use of dots of paint in art is common in aboriginal art from Australia. We like the vivid colors, the natural beauty of creation and also the reminder of how God provides abundantly for our needs on the earth.
