This painting tells about the yellow native bush flowers on the bush tomato plant that grow after the rain in Central Australia.
When local aboriginal people see the flowers they know the bush tomato’s will be ready soon. The tomato’s are ready to eat when they are yellow or brown. The background white round dots on the painting represent raindrops and the yellow flowers that contain seeds have fallen to the ground. These will produce more bush tuckers after the next rain. This is a story about renewal on the land.
