Jila Patiri - Amy Nuggett, 2014 Taryn CarringtonA Jila, waterhole, surrounded by trees. Food for camels, those trees. Camels come looking for water and find food too. Big mob of partiri around the waterhole, desert flowers, pink flowers and all the green plant too. Whole lot; beautiful flowers in the desert. I like painting them. They make me happy and attract the birds for kalaga, for the bush honey. Amy Nuggett Silk Screen Print on 300gsm Paper 55x72cm Edition #19 20
