Pictured is Andrew Brown who kindly donated these two paintings to Jeff for the YG Men's Group.
Thank you, we love having these beautiful meaningful paintings to showcase. 🙌🏾
A brief description to tell the story:
This painting is called Yamanha,Yalbilinya Wiragjuri Ngurambang. Which means Go together, speak learn on Wiradjuri Country.
The Gugaa (Goanna) Garru (Magpie) Biladurang (Platypus) Totem colours. School and sporting colours of Forbes.
Top right is where my Birrang begins with my Great Grandmother from Peak Hill. It represents our ancestors looking over us.
The Rainbow Serpent represents Forbes where knowledge and respect is passed on from our Elders past and present (Muyulung-galang Maradhul-bu yaala-bu
The Birrang Yarang-galang (Journey lines) take us to resting areas where the Men’s group learn, yarn, laugh, share stories and connect with Country Ngurambang),
This represents growing, learning and moving forward into the unknown with the knowledge that the men’s group have your Birra (Back)
I'm honoured to paint this for Jeff and his men’s Group. I’m very proud to be a life time Gambang (Brother) and am Nanhaynanabinha (Very lucky) to know him.
Ngurrbul Yindyamarra (love Respect)
Yandaruu (Andrew)
