Aboriginal Art

Saturday Self-Challenge: Art

The art displayed in this photo is a beautiful example of indigenous Australian folk art. I bought it years ago from an Australian friend of mine whose husband is Aboriginal and is an artist. The art form he used is called "dot painting" and originated in the 1970's. It became very popular in art circles. Some information about it is in the links below:

Have a safe and healthy week, my friends! Hugggs to Pam!
