Australian Aboriginal Picture


This is a dreaming or journey. The dots are called stipples and the lines are called cross hatching. I used the 4 sacred colors - red, yellow, white, black. I painted this on a paper sack. The little "U" shapes are my daughter and me which signifies Mother and Child. I have a curvy line with 2 sets of footprints which symbolizes my journey away from my ex-husband. The big journey is me going through school and there is also the journey of my life. I used lots of stipple to cover the background. I liked doing the stippling, it was fun and I really enjoyed it.
