This an acrylic painting, based, on my interpretation of "Australian Aboriginal Dot Art" which is suppose to tell a story. Here is the story that was the inspiration for this painting. My brother and I used to hike the trails and asphalt road at Big Dalton canyon by my house. One Sunday in February we were walking the asphalt road when we came across several squashed salamanders. As we walk further up the road, we came across several that were actually crossing the road, still alive and we helped them cross. Of course, the question was why and the answer was simple to get to the stream on the other side. The reason we knew that, we found several in the pools along the stream. In addition, looking them upon on the Internet it was their breeding season. Over the next couple of months, we did that regularly on the weekend. This piece of art tries to depict them crossing the road, in the aboriginal style of a story telling painting. What do you think?

This is beautiful Lucien! i love the colors used and the movement of the lizard looks very soft. The contrast between the red and green and how they blend yet stand out is amazing! miss you my friend - Maria
