This place is in country west of Springvale. A boy went wondering through this country and got lost. He came across a little man the size of a cigarette with white hair and a white beard. The boy took the man in his hand and they became great friends. The little man cast a spell over the boy who then forgot about his family. He and the little man lived happily in this good country. After several months of searching everywhere for the boy, his father and uncles finally tracked him down one day after finding his fresh tracks. The boy didn't recognise his family and tried to run away, but his father caught him. He performed a smoking and leaves ritual until the boy's memory returned and he recognised his family once more. The boy returned home and the little wizard man disappeared back into the caves." As stated on a copy of the Jirrawun Arts certificate of authenticity © Rusty Peters/Copyright Agency 2024

Peters, Rusty Rock Pigeon natural earth pigments on canvas 90 x 120 cm 2007
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
This country here is about 20 miles from Springvale, my country. All around here, there are witchetty grubs in the white trees. They come out from the ground and into those trees. Well, long time ago a big wind came up - enough to blow you away - in the Dreamtime you know. And those witchetty grubs fell in the water and went right upstream. They fell in big time and couldn't get out. Pretty dangerous country around here - all that water and sink holes and sometimes that wind comes up just like in the Dreamtime. A man has to be careful - don't want to be like those witchetty grubs. Don't want to be wasted away. And all around here are Rock Pigeons - they're black and they come out at night time. They're different from the grey ones you know - they're around during the day. Everything is this part of the country is just different.

Â Rusty Peters (c.1935-) Rock Pigeon 2007
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Rusty Peters began to painting on canvas in 1997 after a lifetime working on the cattle stations across the Kimberley and far north. His works are replete with detailed knowledge of the land and stories from Springvale Station and the neighbouring Moola Boola StationÂ where he spent his youth. While recognisably part of the 'WarmunÂ style', his works are intricate maps of his country and its dark caves and rivers. In this painting Peters depicts country about 20 miles from Springvale. All around this region, witchetty grubs come out from the ground and make their home in the white trees. The Dreamtime story tells how, a long time ago, a strong wind blew the witchetty grubs into the water and they were washed upstream. The artist relates: 'Pretty dangerous country around here - all that water and sink holes and sometimes that wind comes up just like in the Dreamtime. A man has to be careful - don't want to be like those witchetty grubs. Don't want to be washed away. All around here are Rock Pigeons - they're black and they come out at night time. They're different from the grey ones you know - they're around during the day. Everything in this part of the country is just different.'
