Highly Commended - Painting by Pilbara Indigenous Artist
Judge’s comments:
A lovingly painted work, that shows the strong and protective walls of an old red river gum that provides safe haven for 3 galah chicks, who snuggle together in a spiral for maximum warmth.
ARTWORK ID: 4003
CATEGORY: Painting by Pilbara Indigenous Artist

The pink and grey galah known as Bitharndi in Yindjibarndi language.
On a cold dewy morning on Yindjibarndi Country, 3 small fledglings find warmth deep inside the hollow of an old river gum. The tree has stood through many seasons, its trunk shaped by wind, rain, and time. Inside its hollow, the Bitharndi-ngarli tucks in close, feathers fluffed, safe from the chill that moves across the plains before sunrise.
