Dorothy was a keen observer of the landscape. It was after her epic trip back to country in 1999, that saw her painting painting style change from the colourful floral works of bush foods into a minimalist palette, a style that was to cement her fame on the international art world.
In this painting, Dorothy has reduced the landscape of her country into a monochromatic palette of ochre yellows on black.
