I’m thinking when I making the painting, how to make him a good painting, a strong one. Where to put the kalaya (emus), kungkas (women), punu (trees), tjukula (waterholes) … Sometimes I’m thinking about the colours – dark ones and light ones, sometimes I’m just thinking; from memory all the Country I’ve been at, all the stories I have.
