The Goanna Spirit

No image available
The painting shows the goanna that ran from the fire when the Wawilak sisters began to cook their meal. This is a very interesting painting because it is done by an artist who does not own the Wawilak design, hence would need special permission from the "owner". This literally is a "stolen" painting.
