• Notes:
  This work is accompanied by a certificate from Karen Brown Gallery which states: ‘This day I learned to do my painting about my father. I used to sit and watch him do painting on the yuwal (spear). This painting shows the markings painted onto the yuwal by my father. I used to go out with my father, out bush looking for the right kind of tree to make the spear. We would collect red and white ochre from the hills to do painting on the Spear.'
