Here she illustrates the topography in shades of reds, oranges, yellows and pinks reflecting the varying seasonal palette. She builds up layer upon layer of colour creating a multi-dimensional effect to reveal the Bush Plum (Ankwekety) - and her country - Arlparra in all its glory. http://www.utopianaboriginalart.com.au/aboriginal_art/bessie_pitjara/bush_plum_dreaming_1/ http://www.utopianaboriginalart.com.au/aboriginal_art/bessie_pitjara/bush_plum_dreaming_1/ Bessie Pitjara Angeline Pwerle Ngala Arlparra Country Bush Plum (Arnwekety) Dreaming investment Kathleen Ngala Polly Ngala Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:30:00 +0930 Daughter of the renowned Polly Ngala, Bessie has only just begun her painting career.
