Valerie Lynch Napaltjarri Water Dreaming 2007
Acrylic on linen 915 x 1220mm SOLD
This painting tells one of the many water dreamings from the Papunya area. The different coloured lines
represent the elements of a storm – wind, rain, thunderclouds and lightning. The four brown lines are the water
flowing, flooding the usually dry creek beds. Knowledge of where to find water was handed down from
generation to generation to ensure survival in the desert.
