Ruby Morton Kngwarreye

THE PAINTING: As one of the famous Morton sisters, Ruby has executed a piece of art that showcases her unique trademark style of almost overlaying one painting on another. Firstly, using a colourful pallette of vivid spring colours, Ruby lays down a background of interlocking shapes - then she applies an intricate web of white bursts to depict the desert flowers almost exploding into bloom. The overall effect is one of colourful wonderment, making this amazing investment painting the object of envy when hung [either vertically or horizontally] on any wall!
