THE STORY

 

This painting is about the stolen generation era, it is dedicated to all mothers who had their babies taken/stolen from them. Some mothers never seen their precious little babies again, some mother died broken hearted not knowing where their children were.

The colours in this painting represent the ever flowing love of a mother’s heart for her baby. The colours also represent all the emotions a human being could ever experience, red for anger, blue for sadness, white for rage, the blues also represent the tears that never stops to flow for her little baby girl or boy that she will never see again.  Green is from the homeland where her baby was taken, the other colours are the colours of the land where her baby once laid.
