I am simply in love with this painting by Norah Napaljarri Nelson, Milky Way Dreaming. It's a shame that it was auctioned for $7,000 by Sotheby's - just a schmidge above my art budget :-)The artist takes Dream Time to the night sky by telling the story of a man who pursued 7 sisters that were all wrong for his skin type. The painting initially caused much distress to the artists father and other male members of her community who believed that she did not have the rights to paint the story.
Thankfully it got to see the light of day and we got to see it.
