Near Jay Creek Outstation – People Looking At Car and They’re Getting Happy For Lolly Maybe
Billy paints from memory, “This is bush…car goin’ back from town to outstation near Jay Creek.. the kids, they lookin’ at car and they runnin’ cause they want lollies.The green is after rain. They happy.” The rejuvenation of the land is evident through the use of brighter blues and greens of the bush and sky. Kenda outlines the figures and houses with warm, light and dark browns, anchoring the scene within the landscape. This creates a strong sense of community and belonging whilst also showing importance of accessibility as the road seems to disappear into the horizon.

Yalpirakinu
Yalpirakinu is Adrian’s mother’s country. Adrian’s mother is the late Eunice Napangardi, a well known painter herself. His artworks consistently refer to the desert mountains, ridges and trees which are part of Yalpirakinu. Using a restricted colour palette, Adrian’s brushwork is loaded with energy, drama and memories. He is a deliberate and thoughtful painter; reworking, pushing and pulling the image to completion.
