Bush Turkey Story by Cowboy Loy (SOLD)

Cowboy's painting is of the Bush Turkey Story. In this story, the turkey goes out to collect tucker (food) during the day and comes back to his camp by a creek.

The concentric circles in the centre represent the turkey's home by the creek. Strong diagonals are the journey it takes during the day to collect food; normally seeds and small fruits.

Semi circle patterns are symbolic of the tall grassy areas, and dots represent the food.
