ROVER THOMAS (JOOLAMA)

Painted by the artist for the vendor who was a nurse at Warmun in the early 1990s

There are slight scuffs to the edges of the canvas but these do not detract from the overall image. The work is in very good condition and is housed in a box frame.

Although painted on a Waringarri Arts canvas, this painting was gifted to the vendor by the artist and was never catalogued by the Arts Centre or given certification by them. The artist was born in the vicinity of Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route, and this painting is likely to represent his traditional country.

This painting is sold with a photograph of the artist in the early stages of creating this work.
