The smoke from the fire formed 'milpirri' (cumulonimbus clouds) and it began to rain. A giant storm formed and travelled from the south over Mikanji where it rained so hard it created a hole in the ground which became a soakage. At Mirrawarri a bird picked up the storm and carried it on its wings to the west until it became too heavy for it and it had to drop it on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. Short dashes are often used to represent Mungkurdu (cumulus \u0026amp; stratocumulus clouds), and longer, flowing lines represent 'ngawarra' (flooded waters). Small circles are used to depict 'mulju' (water soakages) and river beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthically sourced and provided with impeccable provenance including Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mainie Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410653855929,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/5426\/7199\/files\/RainBirdDreaming-VivienneNakamarraKelly-OriginalArtwork-LoRes.jpg?v=1781090807","url":"https:\/\/www.mainie.com.au\/products\/rain-bird-dreaming-aboriginal-artwork-painting","provider":"Mainie Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
