“On the weekend me, Bardi and Gotjawk went out to the waterfall for fishing. We caught three Barramundi and I got to share them out… They were real tasty!” – Travis
Painting has been completed in acrylic using a mix of traditional Jarlk grass reed brush as well as modern paintbrushes. Background barramundi shape was painted by Brett Bush, and fine line outline completed by Travis. Stippling effect using modern paintbrushes has been used for everything else.
