Aboriginal Art

Australia has many accomplished artists but the ones that impressed me the most were the aboriginal artists. Something about their traditional "Dot" art with both abstract and concrete designs whether physical or metaphysical themes really moved me. Many designs are available in mass produced form silk screened on canvas and can be purchased here: Australian Native. Original works can be found at Ebay by searching on "Aboriginal Art".

Here are my favorite designs...

From left to right Platypus Mother and Child, Waterholes, Dreamtime Spirits.




Spirit of the Kangaroo

Billabong Dreaming

Hi. JUst took a quick look at your blog. It looks fascinating. How do you find other blogs? I'm thinking about starting one. But I've been thinking about it for a long time. The pictures are really great but not enough of you.

I love the aboriginal art designs you posted, too. Ruth brought us some but they aren't nice like these. I enjoyed talking to you Friday. I 've thought often about calling you back since Christmas but I am the world's worst phone caller. I am really glad we have kept up our friendship. You are a valued friend.
