Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sign for a tiny art gallery at Balnarring, Mornington Peninsula.
The sign design seems strange because most of the gallery's work is dominated by the work of Aboriginal/Koori artists from a remote community called Utopia in the Northern Territory.
This ochrey, earthy-toned work features a series of dots in intricate designs that tell a story or a legend.

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A separate sign advertises the Aboriginal element in the gallery.
There is a touch of yellow dots round the outside of the circles.

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Would have loved to see the exposition ! I just came back from an exposition where you have to follow a path which leads you from house to house where artists expose their works.
There's a certain something in abstract works that I look into before liking them...this piece has that, really like it!
The first sign is very eye catching! I was quite taken with the dotted aboriginal art when I first visited Australia - I wish I'd been able to buy some.
For sure there are a lot of impressive art work in that event. Great shot!

And John Lennon would have enjoyed the show, too! Nice find.
I love the first sign , too;-) so power- and colorful! happy day
I like the yellow dots.
I also like the John Lennon Commemorative sign because I had just been thinking:- in less than two months I'm going to be a Beatles song.
