Jimmy Donegan The Pukara Rock Hole - Jimmy Donegan Story 2007
Acrylic on canvas 1000 x 1000mm $3960
Pukara Rock Hole is in sandy country where the Desert Heath Myrle grows in abundance. The stories attached to Pukara
are plentiful and link to great travellers from the Dreamtime. Snakes who are really men, who have travelled huge distances
across country from as far away as Perth. A father and son, who finally come to Pukara where they stay, are still there
today. Jimmy's paintings have a great deal of symbolism and hidden in the dots. One can find the lay of the land, the
seasonal flora that is plentiful at Pukara and stories of spearings, injury, recovery to health, dispute between the snake/men
and the tribal people who want the resources and water that is to be found at Pukara.
