hey hold on a minute. i may be a few years late but my sentiment is still relevant. you have no place attempting to replicate Aboriginal painting styles or to even word your description in that way. you are not Aboriginal. have you gained permission from the Aboriginal community where you live to paint these styles or stories? there is no comparison with Van Gough because his style is individual, Aboriginal stylings, themes and techniques belong to Aboriginal Elders as they are the custodians of their ancestors culture. as an artist, if you simply copied Van Gough you would be dismissed as a mere copycat. you don't simply decide to paint in my culture; what, when and how you paint is detirmined and controled by your Elders. the underpinning law of our culture is respect for your Elders and the culture which they are custodians of.
Dot 4 dot till the final dot The final result of the Aboriginal Painting will start with a single dot.
