Aboriginal art painting by JEANNIE PITJARA (PETYARRE). Canvas measures 160 cms x 99 cms and is acrylic on canvas and is titled "Yam Flower Dreaming". Jeannie has signed the painting on the back. I will include a photo of Jeannie holding this painting.
This painting was purchased directly from Jeannie, 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.
