Dakota Ngwarraye Petrick – Mwanyen (Bush Tomato)

My twin sister Latoya and myself have just started painting bush flowers.  Our grandmother Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney shows us the good way.

I did the mwanyen (bush tomato) plant because it is sweet tasting fruit that we find in creek beds after the rain.
