Lupul - Ena Fathers Country

This painting tells the Dreamtime story of the Rainbow Serpents Ancestors travelling across the country to Lupul, bringing with them a great electrical storm. The lines represent the lightning. Aboriginal people believe the Creation or Dreamtime is the beginning of  'knowlege', when the laws of existence were put together. It is said the Ancestors moved across the then barren surface of the world, hunting & fighting. They changed the form of the land creating the mountains, rivers, trees, plains, water holes and sand hills. The Ancestors were honoured by Aboriginal people in corroborrees performed at sacred sites where the spirit of the Ancestors had became part of the landscape, or turned into entities each as rocks or trees.
