Neville Williams...
|
|
In addition to the didgeridoos, Neville also does paintings on canvas. These are of the eucalyptus forests of his traditional homeland in SW Western Australia. The Aboriginal colors of black, red and yellow are always used, as they are the colors of the Aboriginal flag and have a deep symbolic meaning to Neville. The picture shown is hanging in my living room and is not for sale, but Neville will paint one especially for you in a similar style if requested.
