Prints from the Blanasi Collection: Contact us to purchase this item. David Blanasi This is big water, running. The spring on the top left-hand side is running from a big hill to the large water hole on its way to the sea. It's the place David Blanasi calls Gundidi, his home country. At the top all the animals drink at this stream, the jabiru emu, brolga, all animals. They don't drink at the bottom, there is too much biting in the water from the crocodile (kolomomo). This waterhole is the biggest waterhole with a stream that goes off at the bottom left hand side of the painting to Maningrida. The stream at the bottom left stops short and dries up. Here the big fish swim both ways towards the sea and towards the land. All the trees around the outside are very big trees. On the very bottom of the painting, in the middle is the sand and grass, like lawn on both sides of the sand. The large rarrk areas are the hills where the stream flows through. This is big didgeridu country, getting close to Maningrida. David Blanasi had not been to this country for a long time. It is how he remembered it as a little boy.
