Colours of the Country – 6591-23

Justina Willis

Whether it’s in the dry season or when the flower’s are blooming, the landscape gives me joy. In the land where I live I can go and collect bush food or bush medicine. When I look at my country, yellow is when the flower’s start blooming and I know it’s time for sugar lollies to come in the Blue Gum tree. Then it becomes full of wattle colours, that’s when I know it is September. During the rain season the colours become green and all the beauty comes out in its own natural way. New growth of all plants spring out and that’s why I love painting about the Pilbara country.
