Wordless Wednesday : Naidoc ~ We all Stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect and Celebrate

decorate v paint yibirmanha

This is an artwork we bought at our School Trivia night auction. Paintings tell the story of the Artist's connection to their country. I need to find our story. I'm very interested. I love the texture, colour and detail -which unfortunately I can't capture well enough with bad light in our lounge room and my phone.

I am reminded this week as the tradional owners of our great land celebrate Naidoc week.
We will have a young Aboriginal friend of the boys' here for 2 days , his mother and grandparents are Aboriginal - Wiradjuri. I think the artist is too.

The local Barkindji people have just won a very large native title claim here after a very long wait! I think there will be much celebrating this week especially. I wonder what my story would look like depicted like that?

I love traditional indigenous art works and this is gorgeous. My dad has a few pieces he's bought over the years and they are some of my favourites at home. Happy NAIDOC week!

We celebrated by attending a family fun day where there was dance and craft, food, cook off and lots of fun things for the kids to do.

Greetings from Quandamooka country! I love the dotty style of Aboriginal paintings - I think it's called pointillia?

Love this painting! At first I thought it was a floor rug because of the effect the large dots make.
