Aboriginal art painting by GRACIE PERLE MORTON NGALE. Canvas measures 160 cms x 100 cms and is acrylic on canvas and is titled "Bush Plum Dreaming". Gracie has signed the painting on the back. I will include a photo of Gracie holding this painting.

This painting was purchased directly from Gracie, and our Gallery COA - certificate of authenticity - will be included with the sale along with a Tax Invoice.

Please note, as with all my paintings, these are original art works and sometimes there may be irregularities in the art work. These are not touched up in any way, however, if there is a major flaw it will be mentioned. All my paintings have an approximate 5cms border to allow for framing or wood mounting (ie if canvas size stated is 80x50cms, then the actual painted area would be approx 70 x 40 cms). Please note, photos are only included if mentioned in the above description. I am happy to combine postage.

Date of Birth: Circa 1956

Area: Utopia

Language: Alyawarre

___________________________________________________________________________

Gracie Perle (Perwle) Morton Ngale. Gracie is the daughter of Myrtle Petyarre, and in turn, the mother of Cindy Morton. Gracie began working on Batik in the early 1970's before turning to canvas in the early 1980's.

Gracie's Bush Plum Dreaming or "Altyerre Dreaming" is Gracie's main depiction in her work. Her works depict the changing seasonal influences on a plant that is of the greatest significance to the Alyawrre women of the Eastern Desert region of the Northern Territory.

She is a senior custodian of the Altyerre (Dreaming) and the vast expanse of related country, some 263kms north of Alice Springs, Australia. In accordance to traditional law the responsibility for the Bush Plum Dreaming has been passed down to Gracie from her father and her aunt, who are responsible for ensuring that she perseveres its traditions.

The Bush Plum is a highly nutritious small fruit with black seeds, rich in vitamin C, that can be eaten raw or cooked. Growing in a great profusion of flower and fruit throughout the winter months, the women, accompanied by the children collect the Bush Plums, while at the same time reconfirming their connection to the land.

The flourish of colour that distinguishes the Bush Plum after the fall of rain, is quickly transformed with the long hot summer months. Dried and separated, the seed and husk are scatter over the vast sunbaked landscape by the hot summer winds.
