Goanna

‘The Goanna is a significant part in Aboriginal culture, whether it is a totemic relationship or part of the traditional diet.’

Numbadda (Whale)

Artist: Thomas Croft

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

At a certain time when Djindu (the Sun) was half way through his daily travel across the sky the men and women would stand close by Numbadda's twin blowholes where the sound of Numbadda was heard. In the spray of Numbadda's water, a rainbow would appear in the mist thus linking people, whales, ocean, sun, air and earth.

Wow what a day (Saturday the 6th) just wanted to thank everyone for their comments and of course everyone that happened to purchase some of my art.

The experience was overwhelming and I will be back for sure.....Thanks to everyone that helped me on the day and looking forward in doing it all again....

Cheers

Title: Shifting Sands

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

'Throughout time the wind has blown over the country and the landscape has changed due to the shifting of the sands. Constant changes over the years form new hills, rivers and gullies.'

"This is my Grandfathers country the country of the Barngarla people the country where the shifting sands sculpture the lands."
