Today I bought a canvas painting from an Aboriginal artist here in my community. I didn’t know he lives just behind my house. There seem to be a few artists in Numbulwar and it is difficult for them to sell their work. So whenever there is a new face in town (like me) their relatives will offer them stuff for sale. Every couple of days they are knocking at my door and offer me original paintings, handmade neck-laces made from shells, or even handmade baskets in impressive quality. Usually I try not to buy since I’m a backpacker with limited space, but today I was offered this really great painting and couldn’t resist.
