Dot Paintings.

Opinion is divided on the value of aboriginal dot painting, perhaps
these examples will let you decide whether you like it or not.


One thing for dure is that you need a steady hand to maintain your chosen pattern.

As with the great majority of aboriginal art the colours are always "earthy" and the dots are usually, but not always white.

Again they usually depict animals and repetitive patters and "dreamtime" images.

I must admit that I quite like many of these paintings... sorry about that WT.
