Janet Tilmouth - Native Flower Growing on Country

Catalogue Number: 25/343

This painting is about the yellow native flowers from the bush tomato plant that grows in Central Australia. Aboriginal families living in the area see the yellow flowers from the plant and know that the bush tomato and bush berries will be ready to pick. The tiny white and yellow shapes are seeds that have fallen to the ground. The red/brown colour are the bush tomatoes that have dried in the sun,- they are still tasty to eat.
